Topic: What if…Microsoft allowed Steam on Series consoles?

Just hear me out: what if, as part of their push into merging Xbox with PC with the upcoming project Helix, Microsoft also allowed PC storefronts to be installed on current series consoles? In theory the SOCs in these consoles (particularly the X) should result in a wide range of PC games performing pretty well.
Steam on a Series X could well make the upcoming Steam Machine DOA…

Microsoft doesn't exist to give away their profits to a 3rd party, that solution doesn't sound viable.

I don’t think it’s viable either. But what if…?

They would have to make more money on hardware sales to make up for losing all that revenue from software sales...... So raise the price of the XSeX to $1,000? So they'll never sell another one. And they will still lose out on the few of us who already have Series consoles. Besides they would want to use that as a selling point for the new, expensive console, not give me a reason to stay on my XSeX I paid $500 for. Not going to happen.
