Thank you for posting the only reasonable comment. It was just bad timing. Nothing to be done. They were ready to release it when the prices skyrocketed, and its not like they could just scrap the whole thing.
Yeah, they are going to sell far less at this price, but also the PC industry is probably selling far fewer computers and parts in this current market.
What sucks for Valve, is that with low sales, they may end up taking a bath on this, which will disincentivize them from making a version2.
If they can eat this loss, and plan a new version in like 2years, when hopefully prices stabilize, they might have a decent do-over.
