The whole idea of “superiority” is so dumb. People should get what works for them.

I think you're taking an unserious humorous thing too seriously.

For most normies/noobs, they don’t even know how to start thinking of gaming PCs. No ideas of GPUs. Don’t want to make the wrong choice and overpay for an ancient system labeled “gaming ready”.

I doubt the person who is this afraid of gaming pcs also worried about being ripped off.

Also, there are more resources than ever to figure out a decent build or to ask people to tell you if a build is decent.

Another problem is that online PC communities have a real obsession with going “top tier”.

They most certainly do not. I don't think you frequent these places.

Probably the most common build combo is a 9600, 9060XT 16GB build. Thats around 1100 USD. Thats just a bit more than a console while performing a lot better.

As for second hand or refurbished, that can help, but you sometimes can be getting a worse value, as they fall out of support faster or don't support modern features and you have to be ok with them not being good at ray tracing for instance, or not doing well with ai upscaling, or not being able to do framegen. There are third party software solutions for all of the above, but most people don't want to deal with the effort required for those. Luckily FSR4 might be coming to some older AMD cards.
