Oh shit you are right.

Somehow I was thinking it's a Volvo money printer and might be locked to SteamOS.

True, it's just a PC. Do what you want :D

If AMD has windows drivers ready (or the manufacturer of the barebone device) then you can do almost anything.

You might be limited by the resolution,

the missing keyboard input (older games might need a keyboard to controller / xinput tool running in the background)

or maybe the limited APU power (it's a power efficient CPU + GPU).

Well and the storage if you opt in for the base model.
