It’s a console-like form factor, and is pretty powerful. Most people I know, especially the ones interested in the steam machine, are intimidated by / don’t feel they have the time and knowledge needed to build a PC yourself.
I see this less as a device intended for PC users/power users, and more targeted towards people leaving console ecosystems. It seems like a really good device for that, too.
I don’t think that’s necessarily an issue, it’s powerful enough to play AAA titles.
The price is the biggest issue at the moment, and it’s not really valve’s fault that pc parts are skyrocketing in price.

Less powerful than current gen consoles, though.
