As long as major games like Elden Ring are shipping without basic PC features/settings, I would say the industry is definitely not treating it as mainstream.
Best part was the DLC patch making the game forget it doesn’t have ultrawide support for 20s, letting me use ultrawide and giving me hope until it finishes loading and adds the black bars again. What the actual fuck fromsoft
Those are big ones. Also, no way to disable chromatic aberration (a known migraine trigger), no DLSS/FSR, and broken anticheat that blocks online play if you dare to fix those problems yourself.
Lords of the fallen had a really nice spell / ranged select system, I would love for fromsoft to implement something similar in the future, but we will see
I need to go back and play that. I put it on hold shortly after release in the hopes they’d polish it up. I’ve heard they did, but I haven’t gone back.
That’s a defining characteristic of console gaming, though. Even things like performance vs quality modes didn’t exist until this generation. It’s one of the reasons most PC gamers aren’t also console gamers.

Like what?
60fps cap and no ultrawide support without mods, I believe

I’d also say weapon/spell/tool selection as well. They just don’t really care about their UI.
I was about to say “hey, I like their UI”… but then I remembered by I generally don’t play casters. It’s because you are right.

I disagree with this sentiment because many major games ship without some basic features in consoles too.
