Consoles are easier than PCs to use daily and to maintain.  You are also forgetting many people have built up a library of ps4/ps5 games.  

Maintain? What kind of maintenance do you require on a PC that you don't require on a console?

Because consoles need firmware updates, consoles need dust cleaned out, consoles need software patched and more.
They are a PC, just in a custom case with a semi-custom OS... And as such, require all the same "maintenance" as a PC.

Might have been true in the Nintendo 64 era where consoles were easier... But that simply just isn't the case anymore.
Many of my PC's seem to last longer than a console generation as well with minimal work to them... Lost count of how many years I have had this Windows install, even with a few changes of hardware throw in for good measure.

Drivers.  I've had issues with a few games here and there.  

I prefer PC but I think it is wrong to push my opinion on others.  Getting a PC up and running requires more than a console.  Recently I had to deal with Intel over voltage and had to update BIOS.  Many don't want to deal with it.  

Edit

There are also devastating poor ports.  Hogwarts on PC was unplayable for 6 months.  Crashed every 5 minutes.

Consoles are easier, that is just a fact.
