I have game consoles, but I don’t use them regularly. Every time I turn them on, they want an hour of updates and a password reset just to use the dvd player.
A PC just works.
I bet a Steam Machine would just work too, because Valve aren’t as incompetent as the competition.
I can use my PC’s DVD player while I wait for sudo pacman -Syu, or I can even not update it at all if I want. I can do the thing I wanted to do and then update it when I’m done.

To be fair, if you would use your PC as rarely as you seem to use your gaming console, it’s probably also want to take an hour to update…
I could still play games or watch DVDs while it updates
PCs do not just work. They require updates a lot more than your average game console especially if you’re cursed to use Windows.
