It could work because of the fixed hardware. The issue with Steam Machines (remember those?) was they all had different hardware, meaning that you still had to faff about configuring each game to run, rather than just running out the box like a console game would. This way developers would create an Xbox profile for their Windows game, or Microsoft could create one for each game similar to what they do for back compat, that could automatically load in the best settings for whichever Series X machine you have. This would solve one of the major drawbacks to PC gaming. But yeah, not sure it will actually happen or even should.
