He went from Console A to Console B and it worked perfectly fine for Profile A...just as you are describing Steam would also work. That is how the Xbox always works,...

Or I can just not buy a shitty defective product, that as a legitimate purchaser I am punished for using the product in a way in which a typical user would use it.

No, but if i log out from steam on computer A, and log in from computer B (under the same account), i have access to all my games. No manual "transfer" is needed.

Yes and No. My wife can be logged into Steam on her PC in Offline Mode and play games while I'm on my computer playing something else.
We both cannot be signed in, online, with the same profile.
