(7) get super uncomfortable sitting in the office chair all day and just want to play on the couch with the TV.

That's actually (6) - a living room PC with Steam 10ft UI and a wireless game controller is a thing.

That's true to an extent, but it's also quite a bit more expensive than the $300 (CAD) I paid for an XBOX with 2 controllers, and I had the side benefit of being able to easily play with the kids (who find it easy to use).

Isnt such setting doable with PC?

Surely - but with kids, an XBOX also offered the ability to share the experience a little easier.
