No. There is a variable in the coding for aim assist. On PC that value is .4, and on console it is .6. Console has stronger aim assist than PC, with lower FPS being the reason given.
PC stands for personal computer, not "Always Playing Above 60 FPS". I also don't believe aim assist on consoles is set higher because PC's have the capability and/ or ability to run higher frame rates, I would find that odd if true.
I don't know why Respawn chose to have two different aim assist settings directly, but in my opinion I think it was just marketing in the end of things, I'm being totally honest here.
Casual gamers are the driven force with any so-called "Free 2 Play" title in terms of profits. It's also widely accepted that consoles have more casual players than PC's because they are easier to maintain /setup.
So in my eyes the extra aim assist is basically keeping everyone happy, so people spend more. Video games are a for-profit business at the end of the day, nothing to do about integrity or being fair.
I'm not at all saying all casuals and/ or profits come from one location, just saying the majority of people that spend are on consoles and Respawn just wants to keep them happy.
