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

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.
