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

Thats flat out wrong. 

We have seen time on time again 1st party exclusives coming out buggy and seeing polished 3rd party exclusives.

You are literally making excuses for lazy devs not spending the time on optimisation.

You seemed to have missed a key word: can. 

If you optimize for one platform you can spend more of your time and resources on it than if you have to split it over PS5/Series X/Series S/Switch 2/PC/etc.

Thats just an assumption on the Devs part. If we can see 3rd party devs out preform 1st party devs, then it just proves that's not true.

A small example below,

Spiderman 2: a 1st party game, released with many game breaking bugs.

Balders Gate 3: a 3rd party game, released more polished and had to release on everything.

It all falls under the quality of the Devs, not the amount of hardware it releases on.
