Not sure I understand that statement, I think the only thing PC gamers are envious of is all the attention paid to console gamers. Most multi-platform games are made with consoles in mind and generally a rushed out port that looks and plays like ass is released for PC. If anything I'd say PC gamers are far more interested in SteamOS because of the lack of attention Microsoft has been paying to the PC gaming crowd in favor of the Xbox One and 360. I mean DirectX is literally the only reason I still use a Windows OS, but if SteamOS can rectify those problems, I'll ditch Windows and move back over to Linux in a heartbeat.
As for the Steam Box, I think that particular machine is more for people who want to get into PC gaming, but don't want to deal with the hassle of building and maintaining a PC. I think there's definitely some overlap with PC gamers who would rather play on a larger TV while sitting on a couch, but I don't think the Steam Box was built to directly compete or catch the attention of people who generally go for the already established consoles.
