Can someone explain the purpose of the Steam Machine to me?

I'm sorry, I thought you actually had questions and not just an agenda.

The questions were rhetorical, as if posed by an average consumer. That is the market Valve is trying to reach right? There are major problems if so.

If they wanted a niche option for some knowledgeable gaming PC customers, they have one. But it's not going places.
