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

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.

Laptops count as PC gaming. The supposed barrier is to install a software i.e. steam, it's something every person with any basic familiarity with computers. If a person can't figure out something as simply as download Steam I doubt they will find gaming on consoles any easier, they likely will just play on Smartphones (or not play games at all)
