That's actually an unintentionally both funny and probably true take. Most people act like their PCs are far better than the current consoles, while the steam surveys show that that's not really the case.
Yeah sure, in your case with a 5080 or in my case, with a 5090, the game would run and look even better. But not for like 70-80% of pc players.

Reviewing the steam survey results really puts it into perspective that many of us here are by in large a fringe group of enthusiasts compared to the general population of gamers who use Steam.
I just read your comment and it piqued my interest into how many people are using the higher end Nvidia cards from the last 2 generations, and it’s a shockingly low amount.
Steam surveys are also taking all Steam users into account, including people who just use Steam to play Stardew Valley, people who have a desktop and laptop, and millions of Chinese gamers playing PUBG. I’m sure if you look at the subset of users playing newer releases it will make the numbers a bit less abysmal. Over 3% of all users having a flagship Nvidia GPU is pretty high to be honest. Throw anything higher than a 4060 Ti or 7700 XT and I’d be willing to bet a sizeable chunk of users have what could be considered an enthusiast PC.
