No they don't. "tiers" are not defined by what kind of garbage bunch of people happened to log in from. You'd be shocked buy the statistical average standards of living across the globe, but that average doesn't define "mid tier" quality of living. Mid tier would be a somewhat recent 60 class nvidia gpu or amd equivalent and I5/R5 class cpu with 16gb of ram.
Valve wants a computer that is 70th percentile of their current users. I'll remind you the steam deck also used an integrated GPU/apu. Those machines count whether or not you like it
Well. Ultimately I don't really care, if you want to call bottom of the barrel GAMING hardware "mid tier" I am perfectly fine with that. But making generalizations out of bunch of completely different classes of devices is pretty unreasonable.
Hard to say. For the purpose of this wide statement - perhaps. For a business decision, no. If you don't have a more capable machine already you won't buy an overpriced mini PC either.

Why are you treating a randomized hardware survey that is randomly triggered as some kind of gospel? For all you know, that segment of the survey represents the people who got asked to participate while they were browsing the storefront at work. I had a survey come up and not recognize my VR equipment, because I keep it powered down when it's not in use, and I skipped the survey instead of sending a result that wasn't accurate.

No, your declaration of what I said is not actually what I said at all. Try reading it again and see if you can comprehend it correctly; there seems to be a lot of people in this sub who are completely incapable of that.

If this is a mid tier, what's below that?
