I ditched my PC for a PS4 a few years back, and the quality of life improvement was tremendous. No more endlessly updating... everything, down to the MOUSE DRIVERS. Just hit the button, and pick up where you left off.
I used to worry about the thermal cycle of playing Civ 5 on my MBP, but it's a 2019, and I WANT it to wear out early -- if such a thing is possibly -- to justify upgrading to an M-based, TouchBar-less version sooner.
It's definitely a cost premium buying the console versions of indie titles, and it's not usable for strategy games or twitch shooters where you have to have a mouse. And obviously no mods or free multiplayer.
But if those things aren't a consideration and/or your main jam is single player action adventure, going console is a no-brainer.
