Am I mistaken in believing that there's this sense that dropping the PS3 support will magically turn FFXIV from "Wolfenstein 3D" into "CRYSIS"?
Because that's the sort of gist I'm getting. And it's starting to get a little...
Antagonistic.
Definitely not overnight. I do would say that consoles do affect the design decisions in the game in both customization and UI elements. (Such as, can a controller get to this element? Can this be optimized for certain hardware? What if their TV is only 720p? What if the UI needs to be scaled? etc)
The PS3 just happens to be the easiest target. But if I pull out my new-ish Surface PRo 3 tablet, the game looks/runs even worse. A keyboard and mouse attached don't magically make it better.
