It will open PC gaming to people who couldn't access it before. It isn't for people who know how to build their own PCs, although even people who are tech experts would still want this sort of device.
This makes it easy for tech and tech adjacent people to recommend PC gaming to people with no tech ability.
That's why it will be a blowout success. The Steam ecosystem is superior to every console gaming platform. Now we will have hardware that competes and exceeds current gen consoles with no maintenance or tech-nerd complications.
