For the games you can play on ps5 to get an equivalent PC costs way more. And if you're someone who prefers single player games, Sony has the most timed exclusives if you want them sooner. Also having a UHD Blu-ray player is great too for those with atmos sound systems.
With the prices of PC parts these days, you're not wrong. However, my nearly decade old machine that was only around $600 to build at the time is still working strong with modern games. I just don't have RTX or DLSS because my GPU was made before those existed; and I don't even use them on my PS5 because I prefer 60+ FPS to graphical fidelity I can't even see the difference in.
So the idea of the PS5 Pro is basically to play with the same graphic quality as graphic mode, but with the performance of performance mode.
If you're saying you don't even need graphic mode on your PS5, then obviously you don't need a PS5 Pro. But there are people who want both 4K and 60 FPS. They're not that many, but they're vocal, and that's what the PS5 Pro is trying to sell.
