For people who want a console, it's ok and their choice anyway. But the justification because of the couch feeling and because it is kept so extremely simple (connect, update, play) is simply no longer up to date. Since there are linux distributions with which you can do this out of the box even without knowledge of OS and without knowledge of the tools. The cheaper acquisition costs for hardware would be an argument, exclusive titles would be an argument or for someone with win PC + Xbox gamepass would be an argument (although it is precisely gamepass + alternatives that have negative long-term consequences for game development... Just like e.g. epic's business method, but that's a different topic) So there are enough pros & cons on both sides. You have to stick to contemporary reasons. Especially since the (PC) SteamDeck has made it more than clear how suitable Linux is for gaming nowadays. If MS and publishers would not put obstacles in the way as they have done for decades. In the end, everyone should decide for themselves what they are happy with
