There's no custom story support on consoles because, unlike your example, custom stories for games Frictional make are much more intricate. You go beyond simply moving around preexisting assets and such. You're making new models, writing out code for interaction and how things work, and changing much more minute details. Creating this thing on a console would be extremely difficult - You would have to create it on a computer. How do you get this content to the game? Console manufacturers often try to protect against content from other platforms, as is the case with precaution against modders. There's also the fact the code or models could be unoptimized - which slows the system - or outright malicious if not checked. Again, console manufacturers find reason to be against it. So many games come out nowadays where performance on the console is a big talking point, and they probably don't want to be blamed for the custom creations possibly being bad for the console when they inherently could be.

It's just unreasonable to expect the type of custom content possible in SOMA on a console. Unless console manufacturers find a way to become comfortable with what content enters the system this way, both the game developer and them will be discouraged of the idea.
