That's a rather short opinion article. It's title is likely of course. The PC has always been the winner of console wars. Again and again there are media articles declaring it dead, and then you look at the numbers and see that the PC gaming market in fact moved a ton of games [0], and a bunch of PCs. It's no accident that it gets hard to find peripherals and components that are not gaming branded. The hardware advice given in the article is completely wrong. Things will not get better with new APUs - you will still need a gpu to play with good settings. And if you still need a gpu, like the article suggests, you don't need an APU at all. Things are great right now for gaming systems (and PC systems in general) because of how cheap and how strong the Ryzen 5 3600 is, and that there are a bunch of cheap to not overly expensive gpus: GTX 1650 Super/Radeon RX 5500, GTX 1660 Super, Radeon RX 5600, Radeon RX 5700 XT. All of these are excellent value at their price point, all of these are capable of playing modern games, even the two first and cheap series (sub $200). Game Pass however is indeed a very nice thing for gaming. Also offers like HumbleBundle, also their HumbleBundle Trove. I don't think it has ever been cheaper to get a great and big game library (or at least access to one). Add to that the competition between Steam and Epic, leading to Epic throwing free games around (today the excellent new Total Wars Troy game) and probably motivating Steam to continue with their sales approach.
