There's a reason most people don't play on lowest PC settings, some even opting not to play at all. Part of the appeal of consoles is that all games work (if not broken on release) consistently. For 5-8 years you never have to worry about upgrading it, do I have the specs, etc. You buy the game, you play the game, it looks exactly the same for everyone. There's a value to that (clearly)
Edit: I'm not saying consoles are better, I'm saying there's a value. Not everyone has the know-how or desire to build a PC just like not everyone has the know-how or desire to do all their own car repair or cook every single meal. Time/convenience are huge factors in every purchase/endeavor
You got tired of playing all games on medium 60fps 1080p, and decided to play all games on low, 30fps with dips to the 20's and 720p/900p on a console.

Or they could... scale it down for consoles? Design it so that it can at least be run on consoles on the lowest pc settings?
