The Last Of Us Part 2 and Horizon Forbidden West...
I was seriously considering getting a PS5 until I saw the costs of the games + hardware.

I was seriously considering getting a PS5 until I saw the costs of the games + hardware.
I can't say my experience playing PC games comes even close to that.
It takes me maybe 10-20 seconds to get most games that I play open on my machine, excluding the obnoxious splash screens games have when you open them which is the reason I think #6 might be a compelling argument. With the splash screens, it's easily 2-3 minutes because more than half of that is sitting there staring at some stupid brand logos.
Of course, I already have a PC for other reasons, and the PC's hardware is more than capable of playing games (moreso than most consumer gaming consoles at least, if not all), so I've never really felt like there was much reason to get a console, with the exception of a Switch since it's a handheld. There's already an enormous catalogue of games to play on PC, so it's not like I'm missing out on much. Also, I might be a bit unique in that I'm using my PC all the time anyway. For someone who doesn't use a PC very much, I could see a console being more appealing due to it being a dedicated gaming device.
Bingo, you've described my experience exactly. My computer is almost never off.
That’s wasteful.
If it wasn't usually running something and was idling, it would be more so. But generally speaking, I have something occupying it.
