Video game consoles exist for the sole purpose of playing protected content,

Consoles have never been good at handling protected content. I'm pretty sure they have higher piracy rates than PC, purely because PC will emulate them.

Pretty sure the main reason has always been form factor and self-contained. People get consoles because they don't want the setup that a PC entails. That and up until around 10 years ago maybe, PCs were prohibitively more expensive than consoles.

But hell, even back in the 90s my first experience with Pokemon was on no$GB
