What if you want resolution and play those games that won't ever come out in PC.
It might not be as much as those powerful PCs, but between 1080p and 900-720p, i'd pick 1080p any time of the day.
And you're just wrong assuming games will start to be sub1080p (devs that pick sub 1080p already will keep doing sub1080 and devs that pick 1080p will keep doing 1080p in most cases), last generation the resolution didn't get worse over time...
For some they did, for others framerate just suffered. I think You would prefer 900p over 20fps, which is also what this article mentions.
What if You want disable CA or grain filter or lens flare in games that dont come out on PC? Sometimes You just dont have a choice.

Jeez man. Conspiracies? Really? Leadbetter it's clearly an Xbox fanboy the hell you need of more to prove it? Did you have read his last articles? Every single time there is something of negative about the ps4 he was in first line for the article. Every time there is something of positive to say about the xbone he wrote something. It's quite evident for the fuck sake.
Yes, actually i read all articles on DF and You know what? Leadbetter's most articles on this generation were PC related.
There is no bias towards Sony/Microsoft or any company on DF, unless You want to see one and searching for some isolated comments to push Your conspiracy.

This is the equivalent of somebody deciding between two different pizza dressings, before getting scolded by an enlightened guy (you) who intervenes to point out the existence of a more refined dish as a better alternative.
Not everybody plays on PC, and not everyone enjoys dealing with PCs instead of consoles. Plus, having a PC run a game better than a PS4 does not magically invalidate the premise of the Xbox One receiving the short end of the stick.
Do You even have both consoles to care? And its pretty obvious since the specs came out for both consoles than PS4 will have better multiplatforms, unless something special happens, like CPU bottlenecks and really bad ports.
But that doesnt mean that 900p is bad, especially on TVs, and automatically makes game unplayable, in fact sometimes it can benefit the game, by making the fps stable, because You know what? Both consoles are weak and if sometimes devs need to push 900p over 1080p for better playability or to use better tech to make as Repi said 'pixel quality better' than so be it.
Its not black and white, it all about compromises, sometimes it is fidelity for resolution and clarity, and sometimes is fidelity over clarity.
