to be honest, I do not believe it either that they nail high end PC players to the cross for the sake of consoles. I nevertheless like to say it at every opportunity to make sure they KNOW we are watching 
Best example is tree draw distance. After all those reports that it was dumbed down I expected a real disappointment yesterday compared to last time when I played in September. But it is just fine, maybe even a bit farther out. So from my side I can safely conclude that all the tree draw distance complainers had their tree mods running, and the difference they see is obviously because the mods do not work anymore. But the vanilla tree draw distance is just fine. So yes, good hopes that Asobo with serve the high end PC crowd well.
