Valve have confirmed the Steam Machine's price will be comparable to a custom-built PC with similar performance, rather than subsidised like a console.
I play a lot of PC games and it’s definitely of interest; if I can buy a powerful, compact machine that can play everything for less than the cost of a current generation 12-16gb+ GPU, I’m sold.
Why would I want to spend a bunch more money to build/upgrade my own rig? Have you seen RAM prices lately?
There’s still at-home streaming. I just upgraded to an RX 9070XT so I can stream 4k60 to my TV through my Steam Deck using Sunshine and Moonlight.
Granted, a big reason why I did that was because they were selling for $600 a week ago on Newegg. Plus I didn’t want to have to fight Nvidia drivers on Linux while trying to mod Skyrim to hell
