I personally would choose option #3
Originally, I couldn't care less about cross-play one way or another but after reading the forums here and on Reddit as well as Twitter, obviously, a lot of console players don't want to play with PC players because PC players apparently have an unfair advantage because of mouse and keyboard or god-like superpowers because we use PCs or all PC players are cheaters blah, blah, blah.
It's tiresome and I say just give them what they are asking for.
As a PC player I personally don't think any sort of "aim-assist" belongs in any FPS period full-stop, and I honestly don't believe they'll ever get the net-code figured out between the two and I think consoles are holding back what could be achieved with this game if they had a PC-only version the number of assets and "levolution" per map would be significantly higher as well as much more detailed.

I'm pretty sure that an XSX/PS5 exceeds the ability of DICE's min spec PC requirement. Series S is something like a 1060 and the min PC spec listed for 2042 is a 1050ti.
Also from another perspective I believe console outsells PC 4:1. A shared console version probably justifies more dev dollars. So even if console is holding PC back technically, it is probably giving a boost in the area of content/quality.
