I don't really know, my guess is yes, it's a small advantage. But I don't know for sure having never used them.
My feeling is there should have never been cross play in the first place without mouse and keyboard support and without the ability to tweak the game in ways that console can't.
EDIT; Who am I kidding? I play on a 165HZ monitor with a PC that can push all of that. That in itself is an advantage.

Your monitor is not an unfair advantage. I could play on a 32” monitor or a 60” TV. I could play over wifi or wired, wired is an advantage but not an unfair one. I could push a couch closer to the TV and that’s an advantage. Playing on headphones instead of speakers is an advantage. It’s a long list of things that could be perceived that way. Anything that unfairly changes the intended behaviour of the game, like recoil control, wall hacks etc are the real problem. RTSS is not the issue. Imagine if they throttled performance so that all video cards played like a 2080 in a laptop to be “fair”?
I used reshade to add sharpen and saturate some colors. Nvidia offers also sharpening but reshades was more precise and good quality.
It's been so long since I was PC Gaming. But I used to get fed up with what felt like constantly having to upgrade my Graphics card or add more RAM, change CPU etc just to be able to match the specs of the newest game that just came out only to find that it didn't look anything near as good as the "Cinematic Trailers" anyway. Oh, and by the way, they should be banned from using trailers to showcase a game that looks ABSOLUTELY Nothing like then trailers either way.
I got into Console Gaming because I don't have that much time anymore, and just switching on the TV and firing up the PS5 is good enough for me now at my age, I just want to have some quick games with as much fun as possible.
However, I do feel that the graphics sometimes seem to be horrible on the PS5, which goes against the marketing hype that was all over the place before the launch of it. They bragged about how much more powerful it will be etc. And I have to say that The Last Of Us P2 looks fantastic on it, but BF2042 looks rubbish in comparison.
So, is this a Game Developer fault, or is it Frostbite or both ?
@80uwjx4m1chcConsoles are just proprietary PC's. I'll take a 2-4 year old mid end PC over a console any day. The only advantage is that developers can (if they're so inclined to) optimize the living hell out of that system.
You don't need to keep upgrading. Ram is good for the life of the PC and not that expensive. If you get a good CPU/GPU combo, that'll outperform any console by a large margin, for years, not even close.
The reason some games look better is because they're prioritizing different things. A multiplayer fps game will usually try to have higher frame rate at the cost of visuals, and single player games will do the opposite. Also, console use a lot of scaling tricks. So if there isn't a whole lot going on, it's going to render the scene beautifully, but once it starts taxing system, you're going to get some scaling.
You don't need to play every game at the highest fidelity and try to keep up with developers pushing tech to the limits. You don't have to play that game. Even with everything on low, it's going to look better on PC.
