I think, and I may be wrong as I’m new to pc gaming, it’s because there are just so many combinations of components. Whereas the ps5 is just one box with the same components copy and pasted.

Yeah and even though PS5 isn't as good as current top of the line rigs it is around a Ryzen 3600 CPU and 2080/5700XT level GPU so games not developed for last gen are gonna be optimized for that level of hardware as a baseline, we're gonna see a lot more PC ports with higher requirements because that's the baseline unless the game is on Xbox where Series S is baseline instead.

Most devs aren't gonna waste time optimizing for less than current gen console spec, the main reason last gen PC ports are so well optimized is because PC hardware at PS4 launch was already more powerful so devs did the optimization at the console level and PC power made up for any shortcomings in the ports, now a PS5 is generally more powerful than almost any equally priced PC the devs that actually care about PC as a platform and not just a storefront will be the few that run well on modest specs.
