The largest hurdle that a Steam console will face isn't kernel-level anti-cheats or somesuch. The real problem is far more idiotic: platform exclusives. Console gamers stereotypically care that their platform has a game that others do not, I have no idea how the reasoning works, but exclusives are a major talking point for OEMs and gamers alike.
While PC likely has the most exclusives by a ridiculously large margin, it probably has the fewest AAA exclusives.

The reasoning works like this: I want to play that game.

That does not, in fact, help. Exclusives not releases. Why care that a game is not accessible on a different platform.
