Why can't PS5 handle both performance and graphic modes like a PC would?

Why does the PS5 struggle to effectively balance performance and graphic modes compared to a PC? What limitations in hardware, software optimization, or development approaches contribute to this disparity? How might future updates or games address these challenges for a better experience?

The PS5 is built on a custom architecture optimized for gaming, which prioritizes consistent performance over the flexibility seen in PCs. This design means it cannot dynamically switch between performance and graphical modes like a PC, which benefits from user-adjustable components and software-based optimizations.
