You must be incredibly lazy to treat that as a benefit.
No? I just want to play games. I'm on a PC every day coding, tinkering is something I do as part of my job. I don't want to worry/think about that when I just want to play games.

Or it could just be that different people are into different things. Why be a nob about it man?
and I dislike having to use different keys based on the developers whims of how they want the game to control.
Don't you miss the things the OP is talking about (and many others too, like the simple power of making your own decisions of what to screenshot rather than having the publisher make those decisions for you) when playing console exclusives?Since consoles are basically just exclusive boxes and media centres for me, the only time I really "miss" anything is when I'm forced to put in a password or type text and I have to use a gamepad to type, which is always supremely awkward. If a game is available on PC, that's where I'm playing it with very few exceptions.
You are also at the whims of developers for console game controls, only there you usually don't have the option to rebind if it's a shitty standard config.
Console gamed exclusively for most of my life. 4 years ago I built my pc and a lot of the problems with controller input bugs me, especially with shooters. I hate the lack of control you have with thumbsticks and how you need to make additional, awkward movements to keep your crosshairs centered on where you want it to be. You can see how stiff it is when watching console players making Overwatch clips, and PC Overwatch play. Lots of strange circular movements and straffing which I have grown to despise. I still perform well, but it's far from my preference.
I don't feel frustrated by the lack of control sometimes, but rather all the time.
It's a major reason for me to only see consoles as a very last resort if I really want to play an exclusive.

I know I do. (Which is one reason why I've mostly stopped)
This. After working long hours writing or editing on a desk, last thing I want is to bring my keyboard and mouse to the couch. The controller simplifies my gaming time.Controller is much more comfortable for my arms and body than the stance needed to use Keyboard and Mouse.
Console only player who abandoned PC a while ago here. No, I don't "miss" that sort of stuff. I didn't take advantage of those kinds of things when I was playing on PC anyway.
I don't view it as a loss of control because it wasn't something I was controlling in the first place. I can see how someone who did could see it that way, though.
Nah, I'm fine with it. What consoles lack in some features, they make up in others.
Because some "things" are just stupid.
Not being into, say, mayonnaise comparison wars is a reasonable attitude, being annoyed that shop owner stocks multiple kinds of mayonnaise on the bottom shelf is not.

You gonna school Durante on game modifications? I've now seen it all there is to see.you must be doing something wrong, because the fourth post on this topic clearly says you have the same control on consoles. Better look into what the problem is on your end
Consoles have this problem too. Look at all those NAT problems people constantly complain about on consoles. At least you can fix it on PC.I mean, heck, last night I spent 4 hours trying to get my laptop's internet up and running. F that. There were so many control panels... the main connection, network connections, device manager, intel's app, network and sharing control.
