Not sure what Valve has been smoking, but just looked up on PCPartPicker - 5600X, 2x8GB DDR4, RX 9060XT and 512GB NVME is around $990-1000. And that is ~ 70% faster than GabeCube.

While I agree with the message, there are other things that add costs to the Steam Machine, like a custom motherboard, power supply and massive heatsink.

Also, I don't think Valve will get the same bulk discount as other AIBs because they won't be ordering as many parts oas others.

However you look at it, it's a piss poor value when you can build PS5Pro equivalent (with smaller storage than PS5Pro though) for less than GabeCube price.
