But what you’re saying is that it is to provide people with an alternative path from windows.

Even if the steam machine had windows on it, the majority of the same people would buy it.

My point is very few people are going to buy the steam machine to get away from windows

“Steam says this works for everything I own” Purchased no matter what.

Not “I want a new PC without windows, let me try out the new steam machine”
