Because you want the console experience? A PC can be hooked to a TV as easily as a console, but it's way more fiddly way more often without appropriate software support.

Ooc, does big picture mode on a Linux distro satisfy such a requirement? I'm not sure if you have have a system start into this mode on Linux, I'm fairly sure it can be done on Windows.

I'm also not sure if BPM on Linux has the same level of integration with power management controls and HUD etc, but I'd imagine it's mostly there?
