I want them to build a top of the line gaming pc put into a small box and sell it to me at a huge loss. Why can't they do that?

When was this in the office
The use case would be for people like me who want a dedicated box to put under the TV instead of having it at a desk. I don't know how easy or affordable it would be to build a computer that powerful and that small (and we don't know the price), so I can't say how useful or not the use case is.
Can people tell me why focus is on the one piece of hardware in the set of three that had already seen a failed attempt in 2015? I thought more people would be talking about the Steam Frame and Controller?
The Frame is the only one I care about. I was debating on getting a Quest 3 since my Quest 1 is having issues, but this would be a great alternative depending on the price.
VR is a niche market with fundamental accessibility flaws (motion sickness, spatial requirements, etc.). As for the controller, what discussion is needed? The steam deck already exists and from that it's pretty easy to get a decent idea of what the controller will cost and feel like. It'll probably end up being a solid controller for people that want it, but uncomfortable for people with smaller hands.
That isn't to say that the steam frame/controller won't impressive pieces of technology, but should be pretty easy to see why discussions would mostly be around the steam machine and specifically its pricing. Its success (or failure) will likely be what carries the reputation of both the steam frame and the steam controller alongside it.

Bro preach. I've been out here doing real linux work on an old panasonic microwave. If you really liked linux, you'd be running it on something with less than 16 MB RAM.
Even with all the tweaking time in the world I don't believe you can get a pc set up so that it can reliably and intuitively be operated with just a controller 100% of the time.
If you want to be technical about it, you pretty much just described any modern video game console. The OS is the only thing actually differentiating modern consoles from PCs (or tablets in Nintendo's case).
Bazzite in game mode?
True. True. True. And yet, that market may exist regardless. We'll see I guess.
