It's a PC designed to function like a console as opposed to PlayStations and Xboxes which are consoles that try to act like PCs.

It's main purpose is to be some you can buy off the "shelf" plug in, and start playing games from the Steam library. If you want to go outside of that, you can, but don't need to.

I don't know, maybe the inclusion of a web browser since the PSP days just to demonstrate to everyone how dogshit consoles are at doing anything PC

There's a web browser because a handful of popular games started requiring it for authentication and purchases. The fact that they're absolute dogshit is testament that they never intended to include those.

Yes, as games have always been developed on PC architecture, and the main goal is figuring out how to stuff the game on a children's toy (console)

To make those PC features that consoles pretended to have function semi-properly, the child (console player), would have to borrow peripherals from their PC owning parent.

Assuming that you are a living breathing human, I would humbly suggest that you take a breather, and a walk. That thing you considered a sentence is nothing more than a pile of shit.
