I thought you were listing all the positives and pretending not to get it. The whole point is that it is a steam console designed for a primary purpose of playing steam games, and also has the full functionality of a PC which other consoles don't.
I plan on getting one in addition to my PC for playing games in my living room that will be more fun in that format.
Steam doesn't trap you into an ecosystem. You can even add non-steam games to to the launcher for convenience!
This. It's an Xbox with access to the Steam library instead of Game pass.
I think there will be some PC folks who get one, but I bet that won't be the biggest audience. Their target audience is console players who are currently putting their cash into Sony and Microsoft.
It answers the (console player's) question: "why can't I just buy a box that let's me play steam games from my couch on my nice big TV?"
