Same way people have to buy a PC or XBox to play your beloved Starfield.
Does not compute
If you buy a PC or Xbox just to play Starfield you got other issues.
If you buy a PS5 just for AstroBoy, same. Its Game of the Year but def not the best ever PS5 game. God of War, Horizon, Ratchet and Clank, Spiderman...
Consoles have been pcs under the hood for a while, they could run pc games just fine, they choose not to. Sony could implement a browser for their 500$ walled garden, they choose not to. Sony could let you install another OS on the PS5, they choose not to.
The big ones have arguably been that way since the beginning. The original XBox was a stripped down and fancified computer, down to using the USB protocol for the controllers.
