No console-only crossplay option - either full crossplay or platform-specific only. Console players forced to face PC players with mouse/keyboard and potential cheaters. Disabling crossplay results in extremely long queue times. Full-loot extraction means losing gear permanently.

Yes, with crossplay enabled (the default and recommended setting), you will be in the same matchmaking pool as PC players. The only way to avoid PC players is to disable crossplay entirely, which restricts you to only other players on your exact platform and results in very long queue times.
Keeping crossplay on provides a larger player pool, resulting in shorter queue times and the possibility of playing with friends scattered across different platforms. Disabling crossplay limits you to your specific platform, which may lead to longer wait times and fewer available matches, but those few matches will probably feel more balanced as you'll only face players using the same type of controls.
