You can criticise or praise any system with legit arguments.
the ''holding developers back" thing is very old and stupid.
Developers know that a console can't cost 900 euros, and if they have to make the 'A Way Out' game exclusive for a system, a 400 console will be the most reasonable choice.
when ps3 was 600 euros, devs were really unhappy. I remember them to say that it needs I price drop.
cheap console=more people to buy it= more games to sell= more money for developers=better production values.
Easy.
Thing is his comment is legit.
