Are you compelled to include some supposed claim that nobody said in multiple posts every day? Have you spoken to a doctor about this?
I wasn't the one who postulated the inability of PS5 exclusive games to work on a PC environment because they are not powerful enough storage wise, (or won't even be for a while), this wasn't my argument. And I certainly didn't write whole counter arguments about it because I imagined it in my head.
Let's say for example PS5, with its custom SSD, can stream 6GB/s then Insomniac can build a much denser and more detailed New York for PS5. With more bandwidth you can go nuts, instead of faux interiors to buildings and cars that fall apart when you get close, you could procedurally generate vastly more detailed interiors with more random assets and textures - even NPCs.
You are still limited by the GPU and CPU horsepower, you can't put too many details on a single scene or the CPU will be bogged down, or the GPU geometry throughput will be your limiting factor. We see this in PC games, once I put LoD quality beyond a certain limit (way above the default value), everything grinds to a halt, you can try this with Crysis or ArmA.
Worst case, the game is designed around a PC version with a slower storage solution and just has some faster operation on PS5. That's the primary fear of the PS faithful, I guess.
Again, increasing the RAM requirement for the game is the standard solution on PC, for example, Battlefield games used to do that for every new version, increasing map sizes and details necessitated doubling the amount of RAM required for each new version.
When the PS4 and Xbox One came out, most games demanded an increased amount of VRAM for using Ultra textures, and even though the game didn't really need that amount, it was used to store an overprovision of textures to prevent streaming pop ins as a result of limited HDD streaming speeds, the practice is still used to this day, so it's not like the old PCs (devoid of SSDs) will be left to the dust.
In other words PCs will adapt, new games will either require a brand new NVMe drive for max details, or increase their RAM+VRAM requirements, or do both actually, and that's before mentioning going the extra mile of creating new versions of existing filesystems to adapt to SSDs more.
The only people who are likely to use it to maximum potential are Sony's own first-party studios, because they are not concerned with the hardware limitations of other platforms.
So Sony designed the whole system to use it only for a dozen or so exclusive titles? Sounds like a very expensive way of doing things. All developers will seek to exploit the new storage system, especially third party developers with huge ambitions and tendency to create massive open worlds, the problem facing PS5 exclusive games, will be the same one facing ambitious multi platform titles. So now will the argument shift to "PCs will not run ambitious multi platform titles because their storage solution is not fast enough?".
I don't think so, games will demand more RAM, demand NVMe, or a combination of both, such radical changes always happen on the PC space, new demanding games trim down old PCs all the time, and not just on a hardware basis, but also software, forcing a shift to new OS (Xbox exclusives forcing people to go with Windows 10/DX12) , forcing the shift to 64-bit OS (basically all advanced games), forcing the shift to a higher version of DX (leaving people with old and powerful GPUs in the dust), forcing people to upgrade CPUs and RAM (happens to all games in the start of a new console generation), in short, it comes with the territory on PC, and SSDs will be no different.
