The point is: the whole appeal of the PS was, having the disc. Many would only have a PS because of the Disc. Now that there is no longer a disc what's the point of having a PS? It has more expensive games, shittier graphics and performance to a PC.
I agreed with you up until more expensive games, shittier graphics and performance. For the price of the console when it released it was a solid choice and was hard to buy a PC at the same price point that offered better performance. 6 years later and this holds true even more now than it did before. Steam box is apparently around the same performance with some things better and some things worse but at over $500 more for the one. Ps5 really holds its value for the price for what you get. I do wonder if that will hold true for the ps6 though (not holding my breath).
Yeah, but I can edit docs, send emails, run services (looking at you JellyFin), etc from a steam machine / similar Linux gaming box that I can't from a PlayStation.
Obv its not the goal of the machine, but in a pinch, it's an option.
