I think you are right, but what you are ragging on is the meta of PC gaming. It's like an old muscle car nut trying to optimize the top speed of their car, acceleration, etc. They enjoy driving it, but the tweaking is an additive experience. It may eventually become the experience altogether.
If this isn't you, consoles or mid-tier PCs are a great fit.
I would say I straddle the two - if I buy great hardware, I expect to capitalize on it. But I don't overclock shit or care exactly what speed my RAM is, nor do I need the fastest SSD or top tier everything.
