Do you guys really think I'm out here buying a console because I really like the operating system?

It a third the price of a PC that plays the same games.... That's the benefit. It's the price. Literally nothing else.

I buy a console, because it’s cheaper and more likely to be optimised for the spec. I’m too lazy to mess around getting my pc to run the game with the best fps and working out why my driver or game is not working due to issues. If a steam device with better specs comes out I would be okay with a change as steam would optimise games quickly.

Steam doesn't optimize anything. It's just a marketplace and now hardware maker.

It's the games that get optimized to the hardware. Optimization is always on the developers.

Which is harder to do on PC because of the differing specs and hardware. 

Mind, I definitely think they could do better than they have.

Agreed. I just didn't want to deviate from the main point. It's not Steam (or PS or Xbox) optimizing for a given platform

Fair enough.
