Why release the game on console if your only focusing on pc

Me:
Hi I am writing because I have not been able to use two companions since the launch of 2.0. If I use the trusted kinship keystone it says in red underneath companion limit reached and it does the same thing with yriel's unique chest piece. Bleed damage is also bugged. If it based off your physical damage then when I equip a weapon with double dps and 60% increase magnitude the bleed damage should increase but it does not no matter the enemy it's the same bleed damage. The trials if you interact with the ascendancey tower. Does not say you got the points or allow you to allocate them unless you log out and back in. And I don't know if it's a bug or not but sometime you die and loose 10% other times I am dieing and losing a third or more of my xp bar. I know there is an increase penalty if you die multiple times but it's been on the first death. And finally can we please get a console specific bug fix patch soon pls.

Console needs some actual support or at this point we should have just waited for the full release when it would have been free

Yes, but no.
With no testers, the game wouldnt be any better after full release.
Also, while it would be free, it already was, the money you spend for getting into the beta is of the same value as if you later on would have purchased the points.
You certianly either would have anyway, because by design the chest is rather useless, or you would have quit the game.
Of course there are people who dont mind either way.

But there are strong hints regarding the disrespect that a console release requires.
1. controls: if there is a difference in how a game plays between mouse and keyboard towards controllers (skill placement precision and speed), and you already have a working model for both sides, why restrict consoles to the worse option?
2. performance: if you have quality options on a console, at least when the slider is to set to performance instead of quality, the game ought to be running flawlessly fast. But in the current state using anything remotely quality is pointless
3. interface: some things just dont work because of 1, for example having a detailed look on the debuffs on an enemy.

And finally: negative attitude, I dont expect this game to be any better after full release. The engine exists, and it doesnt work for console performance - end of the story.
I like being positively surprised by proving false here.
You all say that but bugs have been fixed within a week on pc. I prefer controler to mouse and keyboard cool you think it's worse but I don't. Half the time console players turn off aim assist. It's really annoying when your trying to lead a target and your cursor keeps getting pulled to one side or the other. Also as far as testers go you don't need teaters to have better balance. You make all skills deal the same amount of damage you have the same end game damage cap on all sources of damage and you adjust monster hp to damage output at the time.
The whole reason they are making the game appealing to new players is bc they are trying to grow there game. Most ppl on pc that like the game already play there which means console is where they are trying to get there new player base from. And they are not supporting the game. How many pc players would quite if it's been 5 months since release and you all had to deal with the same issues since launch. Pc players would be just as mad as console players so in order to get more customers on console it would make sense to support the consoles better. And that's my point if ppl knew console was gonna be like this we would have waited and saved our money bc the reality is it will probly be in a bad state in full release on console so why give them my money. Also as far as the currency in game I already had the stash tabs I wanted in poe 1. They carry over so no I wouldn't have bought them bc I already did
