Valve will position their steambox to compete with consoles, which have the same issues with backwards compatibility which you mention.
Physical media will matter less and less in the future.
My HTPC is a raspberry pi running a variation of debian and XBMC. I also have a chromecast for watching netflix and youtube.
I currently do not have a gaming PC and would be massively interested in a steambox when they're released.
