Hardware to run them is getting too costly for consumers. I think there is a solution everyone can be happy with somewhere.

Indie devs have been there forever. Can't compete on the AAA features? Compensate with interesting art and smart tech.

At this point, to me, "AAA" features means it's full of microtransactions, predatory marketing, and lootbox gambling.

And innovative gameplay too. Large companies are too afraid to try new things, and all the games feel like the same rehashed mechanics with a fresh coat of paint... but indie developers are much more willing to try new, interesting concepts.

There is. The Switch cannot push graphics like the PS5 Pro, but is still one of the best selling consoles in history. Most Nintendo produced games are graphically basic, but so well stylized and optimized that nobody cares! They are good fun games.
