I don't have a need for a computer and I enjoy using a controller to easily navigate the system. I can toss the controller just about anywhere without it being in the way. I don't have room for a dedicated desk so the mouse would get lost and the keyboard would be cumbersome for me to set somewhere out of the way.

I like to sit down, turn the console on, recline, turn the TV on, play, toss the controller in or on the coffee table after.

You can do that with a pc as well

It's funny people using that as an excuse when Steam supports the new big picture mode from SteamOS on basically every OS out there now. You can get the exact same experience of couch based console gaming on PCs now, without really needing to set anything up in terms of custom UIs.

Might I introduce you to Steam's Big Picture mode (same one as used on the Steam Deck) same console experience on TV.
