More importantly, PC has significantly more and better exclusives. Factorio, Dwarf Fortress, Ostranauts, and Squad off the top of my head that I’ve been playing lately. There are so many incredible games, frequently that are $20-40, that will never be on a console. They’re never advertised as “PC exclusives” because there’s no marketing budget to push that stupid concept, but they are. People always talk about which console to buy because they have better exclusives, but any reasonable person would choose a PC if they cared about that.
Yes – and just to add, many of the console AAA exclusives aren’t “exclusive” at all, because a significant number end up on PC anyway. They’re only exclusives if you’re in the PS/XB bubble. (Switch is a standout because Nintendo)
It’s also generally legal if you own the games on the console or physically and can dump them yourself (with the MIG dumper hardware). Of course though you don’t actually have to do that, you can but you don’t have to.

Switch is only exclusive from PC if you care about legality. The Switch emulators are quite good.
Emulation is legal, but the ways most people obtain ROMs of games usually aren’t.
Nintendo confirmed that with me via an email!
