I don't think PC gaming is trash... it just really is inferior, with the powerful consoles we have today. You can have powerful graphics on a PC, but all-in-all it costs more than buying a PS4 which has about the same graphics. More games are available on consoles than for PCs. Consoles usually don't lag or glitch as often as PCs.

Also, unless you buy a special controller, keyboard controls aren't very good. You can't get all the degress of movement you can on a controller with a thumb stick.

Plus, there's the benefit of portable consoles over PCs. You can take a 3DS anywhere; you can also take your laptop but it's bulkier, uses more battery faster, and doesn't have the same gaming capabilities as a powerful desktop would.

Some people like controls with more depth to them, such as touch screens and motion controls. You really can't get the same motion controls you have on a Wii or Xbox 360 Kinect on a PC; and though there are touch screen monitors, they're not made for gaming and thus are not as easy to use as the 3DS touch screen.

The reason consoles have survived so long is because they are machines built for gaming; not do-everything-boxes. PCs have some decent games, but they are not gaming machines. I use PCs to write essays and browse the internet, because a PC is better at that than my 3DS XL; but I don't use PCs for gaming as much because they are often being used by other people, the games lag/glitch, and the controls are much better on my 3DS.
