Windows has come with inbuilt anti-virus and firewall for quite some time. Started in windows XP, developed into windows defender over the years. Installed and running as standard on every up to date version of windows for years. No user input required. I wouldn't call that an inconvenience. I would call that a convenience.
Your console also get's driver updates you know. Auto-installed and updated, just like on PC.
The controller is a preference thing, choose the control scheme you want to use, not anyone else's problem if you think they should also be using the same controller as you. They probably think that's a dumb idea. Besides, don't the consoles offer limited KB/M support on some games? Do they segregate the servers by control scheme in those games?
Pfff, caters to the experience despite allowing mixed control setup's on some games, also allowing 3rd party hardware to allow people to use KB/M on console. Cronus Max, Titan Two, Venom-X, Keymander, XIM 4 all seem to indicate that there are plenty of people using keyboard and mouse on consoles. Hackers are on both console and PC, hardly to seldom cross one on PC. But probably depends a lot on the games you play, official v other servers etc.
Of course the xboxone comes with drivers but it's a closed operating system. I cannot install drivers myself, nor can third party apps do that Everything is centralized, even your friends.
You're really grasping for straws when you mention adapters for mouse and keyboard on the console. This is just a very small part. and it doesn't even work properly btw, those adapters still have to convert a mouse input to the signal of an analog stick. The consoles don't have any native keyboard and mouse input for games. at least they don't have on the xbox.
So It does cater a controller experience that the pc is not capable of. and of course it's understandable you try to minimize it when you have made such a ridiculous statement like saying the pc is superior in every way.
Heck even managing windows with a controller is already a hassle.
and hackers is a pc problem, You might as well deny the light of the sun if you deny that. The most popular game on the pc is plagued by it (pugb) just like pretty much any fps/tps multiplayer game. The console has this problem a lot less, since it's a closed operating system.
Going to trim some of the paragraphs above, getting a bit of a long quote.
Exactly, drivers auto-install on the consoles the same as how they do on PC's. Though I can choose to disable, roll back or swap my drivers if I find it convenient to do so. Can you?
I would say grasping at straws is arguing about people using different controllers in games is unfair but let me try this approach. What about people who use steering wheels on consoles compared to controllers? Or flightsticks to controllers? Do the consoles cater to controller only servers in multiplayer games that support them?
This whole catering to people who want to use only controllers is just ridiculous. The console do such a good job at locking it down to only controllers they offer official support for non-controllers in game!

Fortnite supports KB+M on PS4,

Plus all the peripherals I mentioned before getting KB+M to work are still a thing.
What about the custom fighter controllers, https://www.gamingfactors.com/arcade-stick-fight-stick/#Best-Arcade-Stick-Xbox-360Xbox-OnePS4-and-PS3
Seems like the consoles cater to a lot of custom controllers man, maybe not as well as PC though? I'd say they cater to controllers about second to PC XD.
Didn't say hackers don't exist on PC, just that it's overblown by just about everybody who's trying to make a point.
How's that mod scene on consoles? Are the consoles still catering to modding or are they still catching up?
you're comparing steering wheels, fightsticks and flightsticks with mouse and keyboard vs controller? Like I said you're grasping for straws
and I already mentioned I was only sure about xbox, and after all this is still a thread about the xboxone x
overblown or not, hackers are a bigger problem on the pc than the xbox.
what does modding have to do with this? modding is defenitely an advantage for the pc, but that wasn't the point of the discussion now was it, you said that the pc is superior in everyway, and that's just a load of horseshit.
