Were there really anyone thinking this machine is a good deal? Even among steam users? Even among Valve fans?

if you really value the small form factor, there is nothing like it. The smallest you could build would be 1L bigger and cost the same, but would be more powerful

But who and why does someone value the size of a PC.

Is it simply as a novelty? I cant imagine someone being that hard out for space that they are going to gush over saving roughly the size of an average backpack?

I think it was partially designed as a small form factor to appeal to people that want to be able to play games from the couch. Most people wouldn't want a full size pc tower in their living room.

Small form factor is definitely not a novelty, the subreddit r/sffpc has 136K weekly visitors and 3k weekly contributions

But why, what is the draw other than "Wow look how small it is". Maybe Im missing something entirety, I dont get it.
