That is the thing, consoles don't experience issues for the user, like ever.

If they do encounter an issue, it is up to the developer to fix them, not themselves.

If it is a hardware issue, they just bring it into the shop where they bought it or buy a new one.

That is the power of having standardized hardware/software. You offload every single technical knowledge you should posses in order to use it to the companies.

It is the same with cars. Some people like to tinker with it. Others are afraid they will make it worse if they do anything themselves, including changing oil.
