Oh you mean like Civ V, Europa Universalis series, Crusader Kings series, football manager, counter strike, dying light, Dota 2, borderlands 2 + pre sequal, the witcher, half life 1 + 2, xcom, total war series, Metro series, tropico series and over 1,000 other games most of which are not on consoles but are all available on Steam OS. I enjoy my consoles, but if we look at what steam os has that consoles don't and compare it to what any single console doesn't have that steam os has, there is no argument that steam OS is far superior to any single console.
And for the few games like COD, battlefield and GTA, there are comparable games on steamOS. And with the likes of garry's mod.... stating things like saying "nobody cares" are just silly. People do care. Consoles have a place, but for how much longer? If the handful of so called AAA titles, which are riddled with bugs and rather than making a good game are just backed by massive amounts of cash, decide to make their handful of games on linux, then really consoles are just a cheaper option to play these games on.
I would also further add, that all of the above games you mentioned are already available on windows. One can play them on steam, and simply switch to running windows to do so.

Eh tropico, dying light, metro and counter strike are all on consoles. And metro is the only one that interests me. You can name all those games yet none will be of my liking. All the mainstream games us console gamers like are on consoles.

Why did you ask for peoples opinions in this forum, if you are going to shoot down any logical 2 sided debate? I am also a console gamer, but if a pc running steam OS, the price of a ps4 came along that played the handful of games that are on consoles(i.e there are only a handful of games on ps4 and xb1 that aren't on steam), and the thousands that aren't on consoles but that are on pc, I would not buy another console and would just buy that pc with the steam OS. Simple as that. As for "us console gamers" that includes me and I am saying that many of the mainstream games I like are on steam OS. You can't really speak for all console gamers, many of which would drool over many of the games available on steam OS that can't run on a ps4.
It's fairly clear that you didn't create this forum to ask people for their opinion as you suggested. Instead you question people, while already having made up your mind, and now the people who answer you, seem to be at mercy of your conversion attempts. You seem to be fighting some strange steam os V console battle rather than discussing objectively? Very strange.
