I mean not everyone might want a controller either. If they’re fine with an Xbox controller (which would work just fine) why force them to buy another controller?

This. The Steam controller will be the best one, but it’s not everyone’s favorite, and one of the cool things about steamOS is you can use a controller you already have and love. I imagine there are plenty of people who would prefer saving money by buying one without a controller packaged in.
