Because for the previous console generation, it saves on increasingly precious resources needed for all that other prettier crap they needed to render.
It wouldn't use anymore resources than looking up close at at any other object. It's not new textures, it's just placing the camera in the head of a third person model... It doesn't make even make a .1 difference in my framerate.
Also, that really bad Alone in the Dark Game had this feature, and they weren't some technical wizards for pulling it off.
This depends on the game. Many games, in especially First Person Shooters, do not render your character model. They'll render everyone else's, and render the floating gun for you. You technically have no character model whilst you are in first person, as its a waste to render it when it doesn't need to be - you're in first person, how are you going to see your head? Your back? This leads to the chest also being invisible and, until recently, the feet as well. Its not a matter of moving the camera, its a matter of actually rendering that shit in the first place. A lot of games don't do that because it does add an extra object to the screen, and whilst that won't effect a PC too much, consoles are some weak shit, and it does have an effect on them.

I wish Borderless Window mode was available in all the games I play. I honestly goof off in my other monitor while gaming and it's aggravating to have to minimize and have the system adjust resolution every time I do.
So much this. When Bioshock Infinite had it, I basically cried tears of joy. It should be standard in all PC games. PCs aren't one monitor affairs like consoles are anymore. We need a borderless window mode so we can play the game, and dick around on another screen, without the whole stupid resolution change blackout every few seconds when we do. Thankfully I've got some programs that bypass this, but its still an imperfect solution. Borderless window mode is a must.
And fully remappable controls. I don't care how good people say Dark Souls is, I got it, installed it, and before anything went to the controls menu. I tried to remap them to something logical, but even the controls I could remap I wasn't allowed to remap for god knows what reason, or at least not to anything logical. It received an instant uninstall there and then and has been put aside as a waste of time. If you can't make good controls yourself, allow people to remap them. If you allow people to remap them, allow them to remap them to anything. Doing any less is a tad insulting and makes me think I shouldn't have bought your game.
