Laughable entity. Good!

I don't think this is inherently unreasonable, keeping in mind that gaming cafes are (perhaps quickly becoming a were) a thing, and in those you were usually provided some set of games that the center owned or licensed, but also allowed to log in via something like Steam and play your own games. Xbox / Consoles in general were already a walled garden compared to, say, GOG, and heading towards this streaming model being the default is only a step further in the obvious direction.

I think a better way would be to use something like secret-tool on a fully local setup. I'd still be wary of granting fully autonomous access to the system even with that setup (it would be better to have some set of passwords that are "in scope" for certain actions,where all others require a manual check and override).
