Re: Valve hardware and a bad track record
All PCs and all game consoles have abandonware written all over them but historically that didn't mean much in the case of the the PC because whilst the hardware still works so does your software.
If steam did drop support then you still have a PC and whilst upgrading may be as hard as on a laptop,if there is money in it then someone else will offer hardware support.
The fact is the steam offering is a AMD zen2 PC and whilst the screen the screen may be lower rez and tech it supports video out via USB3.
Given the current problems with the electronics pipeline I would be more worried about delivery in time for Xmas than the likelihood of steam dropping support being any more of an impact than for all the other walk away proprietary PC builders.
