You’ve been able to make a low powered Linux machine whenever you wanted to. The Steam machine didn’t change anything.

Not everyone wants to build their own PC, and that's okay. Other use cases exist besides just what the hardcore PC crowd wants. There was a penguin-shaped gap in the prebuilt market, and now the Linux gap is closing, thankfully.

You didn’t need to build your own pc to install Linux on a prebuilt pc either 🤣
