The use case for a steammachine is that it's another console for the living room. Lot of people have multiple consoles. The difference with steammachines is that you will have better graphics and performance. 4k displays @60fps is a big step up. Consoles fall behind in performance from day 1.
Steam Machines that can do 4K@60fps will cost much more then the XBO and PS4 consoles do.

That is accurate. The main point is that PCs can do 4k@60fps (and more) but consoles can't.

4k@60fps is just one use case. There are others.
