Just as there are those who dislike Microsoft for its proprietary software and patterns of abuse of market dominance.
Yep agree there. It is however much easier to get Microsoft made software to get running on Linux or MacOS than to do the same for console games. There you are for the most part stuck to using that specific hardware for a decade, and then should emulation happen wait even longer for more expensive and powerful hardware to be able to run it to satisfaction.
It's pretty much the ideal corporate controlled product to really trap people in it for as long as possible.
I'm okay with console games. Many others are as well. The experience is cleaner and generally safer. I have a mobile phone, tablet, laptop and desktop but the number of games I play on them combined is approximately zero.
