As a result giving potential employees an advantage based on the PC software they use is illegal. (Asking for their PC skillset is not, but they could aquire skills at work/university/etc. without owning a PC themselves, so that doesn’t come under the anti-discrimination regulations)

Sure, I’ve got a few Steam games with a hundred or two hours clocked, but I’ve got way more time in on my console library than my Steam library.
