Modern consoles take way longer to setup than they used to. Playing a game on PS5 requires installing it, plus usually patches. I think you're giving consoles too much credit for ease of use.

Which happens once and requires no intervention from the user.

The rest of the time it's as simple as take DVD out of box and put in drive.

Yeah, "once", as in the first time, as in the "setup" process.

If you meant "setup" as in literally just playing a game you've already setup, then sure, that can be fairly quick, but still not as quick as Stadia was.

Not only are there only three consoles, I bet I could set up any of the three faster than setting up stadia.

Yeah, and it seems stadia was more difficult to setup than a console.
