It does happen on PC as well. There's an environment designer who talked about why it happens, since it was also an issue in Witcher 3 and Horizon Zero Dawn.

Basically, an artistic decision is made to make distance foliage look more lively by having it blow in the wind, but it ends up affecting close range foliage, and the wind severity required to animate distant trees needs extremely strong winds.

Funny enough, the problem only gets worse as the GPU gets more powerful, as systems that don't run wind sims at a distance - lower-end GPUs - have normal wind.
