I guess just because it has always been like that doesn’t make it good.
Personally, I think if they allowed installing whichever system you want on the machine you own, it would be leaps ahead. In fact the first xbox I think allowed installing Windows, and they teased Linux in the PS3, but later rolled back? People did it but I don’t remember if it ever became anything official.
Pay for multiplayer, well it’s justifiable but definitely not for the price they charge, which is why they include all the “other perks”.
OG Xbox didn’t allow anything like that, but there was an active mod scene. Once it got to the point you could soft mod it without having to install a modchip, it was like a whole new system. Kodi started life as Xbox Media Center running on the OG Xbox. Was so awesome and that was my media center for years.
Yeah, the PS3 “Other OS” debacle was a real dirty move by Sony, I’ll agree. There was no reason to take away existing functionality but they did it anyway.

In any case, if you own a console, enjoy it!
