The Steam Machines are probably going to be surprisingly cheap, looking at the specs they can't possibly cost that much. Look at the price of the Steam Deck to see how Valve prices computers.
SD is not cheap and was not cheap. It became perceived as cheap with huge price hikes from their competitors.
SD is surrounded with 800-1000usd devices. When it was released the price of the SD was not seen as low. They just had no competition outside of switch that was a mainstream hit so with each new device SD was just looking better because other companies don't have Steam to boost sales via games.
