Odd take given how rampant piracy is within the PC gaming market.
Losing a similar percentage of sales in consoles would absolutely make it unprofitable for smaller developers.

Smaller developers publish PC games just fine, you know, choosing whichever store they like most, or choosing to entirely self publish. This is how it should be everywhere.
