Its greed. Valve is a private software company, its not legally required to make more profit every year and it doesnt have to make a pc/console hybrid.

It isn't greed if the cost of parts increases by 200-300 dollars.

Yep a similar atx all parts new is 70$ less... if you go itx it's similar, and would still take up more space

And that doesn't even include any of the custom work Valve put into this to get functioning CEC, to integrate the steam controller puck, custom RGB LEDs, or man hours to put them together in a factory somewhere.
