    Since you really seem set on trying to act like cross platform isn't a problem, let me explain why it GENERALLY is..
    "generally" doesn't necessaerily apply to this game. And in this case it doesn't.

    Most of the times when a game is developed as a multiplatform that includes both consoles and PC, one of the consoles is the lead platform.

    Assets and engine are created to fit the lowest common denominator, and very little can be done to upgrade them for the pc version, and quite often nothing is done to keep costs down.

    This is not the case for FFXIV, as PC *is the lead platform* meaning that assets and engine are created directly for the PC and then downgraded ONLY for the console version, leaving the PC version 100% intact and untouched.

    Why not everyone does that? Because it costs more and requires more resources to create better, high quality assets that fully utilize the power of the PC platform.
