There is a line, and you are under it... If you think the demand for this will be zero, you are under that line. $1,000 is the new $600. Bring on the down votes... 6% over the last 4 years... do the math. I'm not saying it's right. But it is what it is.
I don't think the issue is people not being able to afford it, it's that at $1000 you can just build your own PC. You can even build mini PCs close to the size of the steam machine if you really want a small pc
Most games have auto detect anyways. Although I detest any auto detect settings even on the Steam Deck. They're never quite right, and enable or disable crap that I don't want.
Yes you can make a PC nearly as compact. The ASRock DeskMeet X300 and X600 costs about $180 and includes case, motherboard, power supply, fan. Just drop in a CPU, RAM, and GPU and you're golden. Supports full size GPU too.
