But the Steam machine is likely to have a controller of some kind. Also, they like money and it's not like consoles wouldn't be really expensive these days, as they'll likely price it competetively to consoles.

Sell it without the controller then. 
I assume most PC users that want to buy a steam machine, already have a keyboard/mouse and a controller of their own.
If they can sell it cheaper that way, they should do that.

Also this is a weaker pc than the base PS5 is.

There already are, consoles out there, competing against the steam machine.
That is the Playstation 5 and Xbox Series X. 

If they want to win over the consoler user, they can't have price of entry be much more expensive than the base consoles.

I don't think their intention is to win over the console user, but to offer a new way to experince Steam (games). Although, as Playstation and Xbox are becoming online services, this is how Valve reacts to new competition.
