If you want to own your games why don't you want to own the device you use to play them?

My gaming PC takes the same amount of maintenance as my PS5. Both are computers with parts that can break. Other than that, install updates when they pop up.

Also, Steam Deck / Machine (or any PC with SteamOS) essentially can handle like consoles and run GOG games.
