If it's sold at a loss, then you would get companies buying them in the thousands and installing Windows for office use.

Remember the old story with the US military using PS3s as a supercomputer because they were sold at a loss and so were the best value for getting lots of compute? That's what you get, except with the Steam Machine using it for something else is just straight up a supported use case.
