Are console exclusives good for the industry? For the consumer?

It is less true now but consoles used to be easy, just pop the game in and play. Nothing to install just plug and play.  Things have changed now but traditionally that is one of the main reasons. Even now people will argue ease of use on consoles.

I'm a tec person, so having more to setup is a positive thing for me. But anyway, PCs today are very streamlined and most people use them to things like working, the familiarity with the PCs make them a no brainer to use. For most uses, you just need to install Steam and play 

99% of the population are not tec people ;)

The familiarity with PCs is a thing of the past, people use their phone or laptop nowadays for work. While desktops are more and more associated with the office / work. Not relaxation. Plus I doubt there are many people that work on a TV... So you're either playing games on a monitor of moving the box back and forth.

On consoles you don't need to install a thing, no need to setup windows. Plug in a hdmi cable, turn it on, get comfy on the couch and play, controller included.
