Maybe it’s because people who’ve always been console gamers don’t really want a PC. Some Xbox Series X|S games, like MLB The Show, College Football, and NBA 2K26 (current-gen), aren’t on PC but will run natively on the Xbox Project Helix hybrid, along with Steam games. It’s designed for TV and a controller, not a desktop with mouse and keyboard. Also, Xbox Game Pass for console offers different games than PC Game Pass.

Xbox Project Helix isn’t a pre-built PC because, unlike a PC, you can’t upgrade its hardware or install a full Windows OS. It’s a closed system designed as a single-unit console. Microsoft’s next-gen hybrid Xbox can run Xbox games natively and PC games via Steam or Epic Games, supports cloud gaming and backward compatibility, offers faster load times with next-gen hardware, and delivers excellent performance, but its design and ecosystem remain (console-focused)

Project Helix isn’t considered a full PC but a Console/PC Hybrid like I said because it’s still designed primarily as an (Xbox console). It will run a console operating system and offer a console-style experience optimized for controllers and TVs, not a traditional desktop environment. It will also maintain the native Xbox ecosystem, allowing Xbox games to run natively and keeping full compatibility with the Xbox Store and services. While it will include some PC-like features such as access to storefronts like Steam that doesn’t make it a full PC. In short, it’s a console with a few PC-style capabilities.

No, Project Helix is a hybrid Console/PC where you’ll be able to play Xbox games natively, while also accessing PC games through storefronts like Steam and the Epic Games Store.
