It's IMO wise to treat comments from people like Carmack and Gabe with a bucketload of salt.

Gabe is just a Microsoft-era millionaire and behaves as such in support of Microsoft. Valve may not have much technical knowhow amongst its team as they always relied heavily on 3rd party middleware game engines to base their games on.

Carmack has been proven to spout propaganda for Microsoft as well. He even once claimed Doom couldn't be done on the Amiga, but of course as soon as the source code was made available a few days later Doom ran on older Amigas than same age top PCs could.

Doom was also ported to the intellivision, but that doesn't mean that Carmack would be wrong in saying that the intellivision couldn't handle Doom

Intellivision Doom:

Regardless of what people say about John Carmack, his comments on what systems are capable of has been remarkably accurate in the past.
