People will be more invested in whatever immediately inconveniences them. Apple Arcade is doing the exact same thing with timed exclusives that appear before any console port (if at all). I didn't hear much fuss about Apple's "forcing" Oceanhorn 2 to stay on IOS for a year before coming to Switch (and still TBA on PC). It's in effect the exact same factor.

I'm sure once Apple had something the PC audience actually cared about, like Hades, that you'd hear the same complaints on Apple.

I understand some of the dislike on EGS, but the "anti-consumer" argument is a very shallow one. I also think it's a bit dishonest for a few others elsewhere to say "they've done nothing the past 2 years", despite having a public roadmap on Trello. Whether it's stuff you personally care about is certainly up for discussion, but they are much more transparent about plans than Valve is.
