Here's my list:

It scales very well from level 1-20. The math just works at all levels of play.
3 action rounds
Encounter design and balancing is easy for the busy GM
All of the classes are good, flavorful, and have interesting options
Teamwork is highly encouraged through class and ability design
Martial/Caster/Support balance
Degrees of success/failure
Easy, free access to the rules
The ORC license

Pathfinder Society Organized play is well done and well supported by Paizo
The rune system for magic weapons/armor

I don't know if I agree that all classes are good.

Oracle and Gunslinger have always (at least in my mind) seemed to be overly weak. Like, Gunslinger seems like if should be a high damage output class, but lack of Dex to Damage really seems to hinder him from being a hard hitter. Lol, not to mention, guns just feel really weak.

For Oracle, her curse seems a major downside without a compensating upside (at least until late levels; haven't built one above lv 5).

I'd love to hear counterpoints of anyone has any.

To be clear, 95% agree with your takes though.

but lack of Dex to Damage really seems to hinder him from being a hard hitter.

This is offset by nearly every firearm having the lethal trait, where on a crit their damage dice increase in size and they get an addition damage die.

The class is built around crit-fishing, and it works well. Granted, it gets hard to reliably crit higher-level enemies, but that's easily offset by the party working together

Wait, your party works together??

Wish mine did that.

Very rarely

I just wish I could be a player in a PF2E game for once because I love playing support classes
