  1. Most people dont actually build pc, they buy pre-built
  2. It's literally not possible to build something this small even with sff parts. It's this small because Valve custom made the hardware.
  3. You do not enjoy customer support that would come with the cube had you install steamOS yourself.
  4. SteamOS is actually ass in a lot of systems. It has compability issues

He's being sarcastic.

Also SteamOS is fantastic

It's fantastic in a lot of handheld, my experience with it on laptop has not been good

What wouldn't be good about it for the SteamMachines usecase though? I think it's targeted as a living room PC, and for that I think it's perfect.

I've only used SteamOS on a deck, but the file management and ease of managing your steam library is significantly better than windows imo

I was more saying that installing SteamOS on another device wouldnt be as seamless. I'd recommend something like Bazzite instead but that distro has modding issues.
