Another example of a game not optimized well enough on Scorpio. Also, how are these consoles trying to reach different goals? They’re both trying to run video game software. There might be differences in design, but the goal is exactly the same.
How do these comparisons mean the hardware can’t be compared? You know you can go back generations of consoles to find ports of games on more powerful hardware not running as well as it did on weaker hardware. It’s not like this just started with Scorpio/Pro comparisons.
XSX and PS5 are both next gen consoles sharing similar design in many areas. Of course you can compare them. Obviously the more powerful hardware is not going to put out the best performing games in all facets every time, that’s never happened and won’t happen now. It’s up to devs to use the better hardware.

Just read my edit at the OP, there is some comment from EX- Cry Tech Developer. It's a good read.

I did read it. While it was a good read, it doesn’t support your idea that these consoles are aiming for different goals and shouldn’t be compared. He even touches on how now the consoles share so much tech and such that you have to look deeper to find differences in performance. The problem for your theory is that the only secret sauce PS5 has is the SSD speed and it won’t make any real difference. Outside of that they share very similar performance and tech, some other differences here and there but nothing that would make them incomparable.
If you want to talk about consoles with different goals, that would be comparing the XSX or PS5 to the Switch. There’s a comparison that is insane to make. Hell, I could easily argue using your logic that the Xbone and PS4 were machines designed for different goals. MS was more about Kinect and TVTVTV, they didn’t opt for more powerful hardware because games seemed like a secondary focus of the machine. Yet, that didn’t stop this place and others from being flooded with threads and posts about 1080p vs 900p. Even Sony ex’s a were chiming in on “resolutiongate” to the media and twitter. Yet now the PS5 is weaker and nope nope, machines have vastly different goals in mind, can’t compare them. Doesn’t make sense.
