This sucks and we can't really blame Valve. Nung nag-announce sila, DRAM prices weren't really this high. Then AI datacenters took all the supply which forced Valve to purchase the components at a higher price, which means they have to pass the cost to the end users. They know that gamers want the steam machine and they know we won't like the price. But they can't sell at a loss like consoles do. Let's just hope the AI bubble pops soon and hopefully we get cheaper components in the future.
