So what you’re saying because Valve supports it out of the box is the limiting factor between a console and pc
The hardware supports it; it could be a PC if you want.
You skipped over the PS2 and how it was a console and marketed with Linux support directly from Sony
Let alone Yellow Dog Linux on the PS3






I think this is the goal that it would be priced competitively with the Pro or higher end consoles
They’ve built an ecosystem that gives you that console experience and if you really want to use it as a PC then you can.
The whole thing screams high quality experience for those that want it to just work or those that want to tinker
They really know their audience
