Why do people assume that a SH game has to be dumbed down if it goes console?

There are some extremely good examples of great and complex games on consoles i.e Dragon Age for instance. SH5 which comes with very few keyboard shortcuts and would do fine on a console. There are a number of ways to make menus on a console and Dragon Age is a good example of that.
A lot of people assume games has to be dumbed down and with some gametypes, yes, it's being done. But that's mainly done with FPS/shooters due to the slower reaction time from the controller when one needs to turn/move fast. In a game like Silent hunter it wouldn't be needed.
