I mean you dont need a 4090. A 2080 is probably going to play 99% of games just fine on 1080p. It really only becomes a race to the top if you need a wide screen/4k screen and want to play modern AAA games. (Which yeah if you want to do you will need something very beefy). With that said if you are fine with indies and games below the cutting edge AAA level you absolutely can get a cheaper rig and pirate hundreds of games.
Thats all before we talk about one of biggest appeals of pc games for me personally and thats Modding.
Modding is a huge factor for some games, my cousin was telling me recently he was replaying Skyrim on PS4 and that "they have all the mods now" lol no they don't.
Yeah there are some mods that are massive expansions of the game or even full conversions. Depending on the game you can double or triple your time in a game if it has a good modding community/support. A good set of mods can greatly improve the game experience. Not even talking about visual stuff if thats something you are into.
Like since we are talking Skyrim there is for example Enderal: Forgotten Stories which is basically a full new game which is based on Skyrim.

Yeah I pretty much won't touch Skyrim without the Requiem overhaul, and SKSE will never be allowed on consoles that a huge number of mods rely on.
