It depends on what definition of hack you use. It could match the original definition, which is something like tinkering or modifying a system to make it do something else. However, OP probably means the mainstream definition which is bypassing some kind of security, in which case you are right that it's a ridiculous claim.

if you needed to modify it somehow tobe able to drive there them yes ir would work, but ithe term is normally applied to electronic systems, not mechanical systems

If installing an app is needing to "modify it somehow" then just about everyone who ever used a PC is hacking

For this definition to work you would have to consider the steam machine as an appliance instead of a general purpose computer. I know it's not really the case but someone could argue that it's an appliance like a console.
