I kinda think the controllers and size justify a slight premium over building as well though. At least in this stage (mid 40s) of my life.
I'm riding into my fifties - and given recent pricing ridiculousness with video cards and now ram, my desire to build my own is significantly less. No cost savings and then adding the time investment starts to become less attractive as years go by. I was looking forward in the next year or two to upgrade my circa 2020 build. I've held off due to abhorrent video card pricing - Love me some games but I've been playing more single player non-demanding games (metroidvania types).
