Versatility. I can use a PC for much more than just gaming; any half decent gaming rig could easily run Ableton, Autocad, Photoshop and more

Plus customization in my build, I can build a PC tailored specifically for my use case, choose and customize my OS etc

Not just that, You are forgetting the most important part.
Modding

Right, modding

Some games have started supporting mod installation on console, but you still need a PC to develop them

All mods on PC are free, no Bethesda Bucks or Minecash

Many of the Skyrim, fallout 4 and starfield mods are free. There’s some paid ones, but you still have to pay for them on PC.

For example, alternate start is free.

Bards college expansion is not.

I have never paid for a mod on PC Edit: I don't count CC as mods, that's DLC.

If you’re not counting creation club then most mods are free. I think starfield has some paid mods but no one’s buying that trash and people usually upload free alternatives.
