From my limited understanding, the PS3’s architecture is actually very different from PCs and modern consoles. From a developer’s perspective, it was very different to make games for it, its capabilities and strengths and weaknesses were just different. So it’s no surprise that its games have a certain look and feel to them.
The PS4 and later, OTOH, is a more standard PC architecture which means iterative improvements and less difference between generations.
Disclaimer: didn’t fact-check any of this, would appreciate replies correcting mistakes
