I dont think thats really an issue and more so a design choice to keep steam os immutable. I doubt that'll change since it does make it much harder to break the system.
On immutable fedora, I can layer packages. Is this not possible on SteamOS?
Yep. I think its actually pretty ideal for a pure gaming machine that lives under the TV. If I were going to build a machine for that I would go with SteamOS.
