Because Steam Box acted more of a downgrade. Why would anyone buy one when there not running Steam off an OS which adds so many more features. I was going to be a day one owner until i heard its running off Linux. I am better off just plugging in my Laptop in my TV and using that as my Steam Box because it uses Windows which allowed me alot more features to use my system for. Just a box for Steam? Its not convincing. And i understand the story behind it and why they couldnt use Win10 etc. Its fair on Valve however Steam should never had existed. They should have paired up with Mac if that was the case.

You keep saying Linux lacks certain features but you don't specify what. Linux is a very featured OS and it's much more open and extandable then Windows will ever be.

Linux lacks the damn games...  Only 20% Of my Steam library is available on SteamOS.  Why would I use an OS which only plays 20% of my library?  They are taking forever on converting games to Linux to be available on SteamOS.    I dislike Microsoft a lot and would have switched to a Linux OS but the games simply aren't there.  It would be like trying to play computer games on Apple computer using their OS.  You are pretty much forced to Windows if you play on a PC because the support for other OS are shit.
