Because you can install any OS on the steam machine, they need to sell it for the same price as it's worth

Otherwise people will buy them to replace their office computer

The GPU is 8GB vram and isn't upgradedable. The 16GB ram isn't upgradedable. It's comparable to any of the several dozen $600 mini PCs with 8GB of dedicated VRAM.
