How exactly is it awkward? You can set it up to be practically the same experience as a console experience and plus some (the additional features I mentioned.) Wasn't your argument that if you have a PC connected to a television you are missing out on PC gaming somehow? I listed plenty of things unique to PC gaming that you still enjoy with a television only platform, and which you cannot really do or do efficiently on consoles. You don't lose any of the console experience either. 

Because you can't properly control a PC without a kb/m, which never works out the way you want from a couch. You'll either deal with low quality wireless equipment, finding a place to use your mouse, dealing with cables running from the tv to you, or some combination of that. It works, but it would ruin the experience.

I use a wireless keyboard and mouse from the couch on a daily basis for my HTPC. There is no noticeable input lag. Hell before I made this HTPC half the time my gaming desktop was connected to my television and I played plenty of games on it with the wireless keyboard and mouse. It is no more a problem than a wireless controller.
