Steam machine? Nah. Just Steam OS would be enough.

Is your statement true? Probably

But if we set our standards to "enough", there wouldn't be any progress

Was the switch enough for couch gamers? Sure. Did valve want to progress further? They did.

Or, you know, just connect the Steam Deck to the television...

A steam machine with a Radeon 7600 class GPU sold for under $500 would be a surefire hit and it would blow the deck out of the water in terms of performance.

I think the biggest thing would be getting a PC with decent specs for $500. Why would anybody buy a Dell desktop or the like ever again? Like even if you don't game and need to do office work it'd probably be the best option.

I would love to have a Steam Machine. I love my Steam Deck. However... the nature of Steam games, so far, even on the Deck, is that you need to bop "ok" every once in a while, or even enter a username or something for some unwashed-ass game, and that's a lot harder on a form factor that doesn't have a touchscreen...
