"Steam does like everyone else but gets praised for it."
No console or handheld gaming system is giving out yearly refreshes.
Asus is doing it
I think it's more than just not doing yearly refreshes, it's that they don't want to do releases that are only incremental in nature, which is an extremely common behavior, especially among consoles.
It doesn't even make much sense in the PC sphere either. It's physically possible but in regards to cost and performance, there's not much to gain from a yearly upgrade cycle.
