I doubt console players are hated, but consoles slow down progress of games as their hardware is stuck to whatever it is and for instance new version of Playstation come out only every 7 years. Games are designed to run both with consoles and PC, so until PS6 or XBOX something comes out, we are all stuck. PS5 came out 2020, so if nothing has changed, next will be out in 2027. New GPUs are released every two years, so there will be Nvidia 50-series and AMD 8000-series before that and by the time there is PS6, there will be 60-series and 9000-series, but games will have to be designed to run on low power version of 6000-series GPUs (RDNA2).
Then there is the question of controllers. When using mouse and keyboard, it is about how fast and accurate you are, but with consoles it is aim assist as console controllers are not exactly good for accuracy.
Then there is the question of people or families who play with a console often do not have computers. These days once again, there are many homes that do not have computers, but only use smartphones and maybe a tablet. It isn't a money thing either, but just people who don't find any use for computers. I somehow see this the same way than people who didn't have bookshelves back when digital books didn't exist yet. Ergo, console people are touchscreen people and touchscreen people are tiktok people and tiktok people predecessors didn't have bookshelves.
