It's a pain in the ass to the average gamer who just wants to play games. Hence, the success of consoles in today's gaming market.
Some are clearly in the category of life long PC hobbyists who have as much fun sourcing parts, assembling a build and then overclocking and optimizing performance, but going under the assumption that "everyone" who wants a budget gaming PC can do this is just unrealistic.
If I had to make a wild shot in the dark, I'd say low single digit percentages of computer users actually have even the remedial tech kung fu required to source, build and optimize a PC.
It's a stupid argument really.
