Consoles purposefully add a big barrier for indies, so that doesn't help. I'm sure many devs would love to support console but lack the resources. I can't think of a single AAA/AA game that is PC exclusive.

Well, I don’t own a console, just a Mac. There are a number of games on Steam I’d like to play, but they are PC only. Perhaps they are also available on consoles, but I wouldn’t know.

A Mac is a PC.

Macs have many of the same problems as consoles with exclusive SDKs and custom graphics stacks (Metal) but without the benefit of the console manufacturer working to make it (relatively) easy to make and sell games on their platform.

Only if you are being pedantic. Everyone else knows PC means a computer running Windows OS.

Nope.

Apple's marketing does not define these terms.
