Agree. By "best experience" I also mean "don't force me to wait". But my console doesn't do that. Some online games may require patches before playing for better (anticheat) or worse reasons but thats a fault of the game supplier - not the console supplier.

As much as I love hacking with various things, there are reasons why I buy "closed products" for myself and for my family. I like to do hacking when I want it (with ESP32, rpi etc). I don't want to be forced to serve as a free IT support guy anytime someone presses a wrong button.

When it comes to gaming consoles, I want them to serve reliably to my family. The game console must be fun, optimized for best experience and should not break. Will that be possible with an open platform where anyone can install anything?

In python its common to see code like this:

  df = pd.concat(df,other_df)
  df = df.select(...)
  ...
My eyes hurts, when I see it. It makes me avoid python. I bet the reason for this mutable code is a missing simple pipes syntax. I love pipes. In R can do:
  df |> 
    rbind(other_df) |> 
    select(...)
It feels much better.
