Also the quicksave was always present on the PC, while it wan't on consoles due to memory restrictions.

"Always" is a long time, there was a time when no games had save feature to begin with. Even if the PC was more suited to offer it from the beginning, there were many games, especially arcade, that don't.
And in consoles it wasn't a memory restriction as much as the fact that they didn't have writable permanent memory. Very few old console games let you save, by using an additional RAM module with a battery in the cartridge.
