I think this idea makes for really trendy content/discussion but in reality you need a much more powerful PC than a PS5 in most cases to handle the same game as well, due to typically horrible optimisation issues on PC. And that's after spending time tweaking graphics settings and trying to dial down your FPS, something you'll literally never have to do on a PS5.

Like in terms of raw power a PS5 might be equivalent to a 3060 or something, but actually match that up with the sorts of games you want to play and how well they will run on each and it gets messy.

Likewise, and that's why I PC game, but I don't think it's a typically cheaper hobby on average, whatever people like to say.
Before the Intel Arc GPU line I would agree, but the B580 has parity with the PS5 pro as both utilize upscaling to hit 4k. Considering that the ram and CPU were not updated for the pro, you can exceed the specs in other ways without breaking the bank and have a much better experience on more CPU bound games.
