To be fair the same argument could be used for the ps5. There wasnt that much of a difference, except the ps5 is louder at startup. Ps4 was just a beep and all software sounds could play through headphones, while PS5 muted the beep but forces the startup and login screen sounds to be played through the TV speakers even when set to play all sounds through a headset.
Some loading screens are a couple seconds faster, but that’s also diminishing returns. Its not like ps4 loading times were similar to ps2, where some games could take more than 5 minutes per loading screen when moving to a different area or level.
