Selling a barebones kit without RAM and SSD would be a great idea, for those who already have something they can use.
Without those massive money sinks right now, what would that price look like? Since the price was clearly increased in a similar way as the Steam Deck due to that.
Why should someone with the skill to open up a Steam Machine buy one instead of building the whole thing themselves? Don't think the form factor and HDMI CEC are worth it for most people.
