I'm surprised. Valve said that supply should last unti lthe end of the year. Maybe it's a lack of suply of the store you checked?

The store said they'd been out awhile and were awaiting stock to come in. Given what's reported, I don't expect that restock to come. 

I haven't bought one is a while, and haven't checked if they're available or not around here. I'l have to cheack around.

Those systems are fine... for office PCs and low-budget machines that barely get used for anythign else other than checking your mail. For gaming machines, those are awful if you get a cheap one or as expensive if not more than a regular PC.

Therefore, I hate it.

Currently? Yes, all the good one's are expensive. In the near future? Well, Helix will use pretty much off the shelf AMD APU made just for such purposes, and both them and (I'd say especially) Intel want that market. Due to prices of RAM, classic PC will be several hundreds more than equivalent all in one systems.

Helix? As in Microsoft Helix? The premium console that was rumored to cost like a high-end PC back when RAM and storage prices hadn't gone insane yet? I don't think that's a good example of a viable alternative, unless MSoft decided to lose a ton of money on it.
