There is no incentive to let you out of the Sony/Xbox walled gardens, unless you're Fortnite where everyone from children to adults love to spend stupid money on IAP's just to dance or clothe themselves and you don't want to miss out.
If they did, and you realized your game runs better on a real pc, you'd just defect and not beg/borrow/scam/hustle for a ps5 or new xbox (maybe for decent gpu still though).
You will take what they give you and be goddamn content with it. Unless you're Epic and even Sony gives up the GI Joe kung fu grip.
The lack of cross-play always bugged me. Usually a friend group settles on a particular platform to buy so they can all play together, which is a pain because in a lot of cases that platform is far from ideal for everyone. For example consoles always seemed quite useless to me because I only casually play games, so when I'm not playing games I have this expensive and powerful x86 computer doing nothing because I can't use it for anything else but playing games and maybe watching movies. I wish Sony had kept the "install another OS" option that they introduced for a while in the PS3.
Fortunately my friends are PC gamers too so no locked down hardware in my house :)
