You're thinking wrong. What other OS is on multiple hardware, digital only with their own store, android. Steam OS wants to do the same style but in PC. This is just advertising to reach more market. In a few years we will see multiplet Steam Machine at various prices, as we now see with android tablet.

But the steam service isnt being withdrawn from the PC, so your analogy is wrong.

There is no need to buy a steam box to access the steam library.

Withdrawn from the PC? The steam machines are PCs...

They will hopefully be a better option for mainstream gamers that just don't want to have to go through all the trouble that can come with traditional PC gaming (in other words: console gamers).

Yes.

I did not say it was withdrawing from the pc, but it was to reach more markets. Is like saying when google launched android OS they withdrawn chrome, etc from the pc.
The part of the andorid was we will see in many models, for example from galaxy/alienware or nexus/steam machine to generic tablet/custom or cheap pc.
Steam are not trying to steal/leave some marketshare but expanding his marketshare.
