Yes, that is what I mean. Installing an OS is just too hard and/or too much bother for most people. If Linux is finally to achieve mainstream acceptance, the product needs to be ready to run as soon as you unpack it. You know, like the Steam Deck. And yes, I could do the install myself, but I can't be bothered.

Understandable and agreed. Having a steam console to hook up to the TV is probably what most people would buy and find easiest to use. They did try it a decade ago, but it was too early.
