They could calculate how many people would realistically change their operating system and not use steam after buying the steam machine. I'm sure a lot of people would not do that.
They could get a lot more steam sales just by enabling more people to have steam compatible devices.
It's more businesses buying lots to use as a compute platform or to part and use in their own builds
If they sold it as a "loss leader" with any kind of descent video card it would be hoarded by crypto mining or so.
