It's not the lack of exclusives, it's that consoles are offering a lesser experience than PC now. Controller support on PC is amazing, that wasn't always true. Hooking up a console to a TV is the same as a PC now. Hardware and graphic performance is stabilized, while a console might be slightly cheaper than an equivalent desktop, it's much closer than it has ever been. The steam deck is a legitimate contender for consoles. PC doesn't have the problem of game libraries going away with each upgrade. PC has mod support and a wider selection than console can dream of. PC often has free multiplayer, consoles require a subscription. Consoles don't really support couch co-op or multiplayer anymore, which was an advantage over PC.
