The biggest advantage that consoles have is that you turn them on and start playing games.
No research process, no assembling components, no installing drivers, just actual gaming.
It's been a long time since that was the case though. Now you have to update the console, update the controller firmware, install the game, and update the game.
True though you have to do all those with PC as well, consoles are still a streamlined experience in comparison
Steam is legitimately easier and faster to get games going on than my PS4 these days IMO. Library is laid out alot better and there's no signing in whenever I turn on a controller. Its still easier to do local multiplayer on PS4, but not by much.
Can you not sync your account to a specific controller on Playstation? Xbox has that for a while, though the whole software experience has generally been Xbox's strong suit imho
Don't know on PS5, but definitely not on PS4
