I have a gaming PC, a Steam Deck and a PS4. But I’ll buy a Steam machine in a heartbeat.
Same. Currently missing a good way to make my Steam library available in the living room.
I still use Steam Link for that. The little physical box. They still support it.
Any old mini PC will run steam link.
Meanwhile I just plug my PC into my TV and compute from the couch. Keyboard in lap, mouse on endtable or armrest. It’s ridiculously comfy.
I used an Nvidia shield with moonlight but it keeps crashing on me as of recent. But a new standalone solution would be sexy.

Haha ok ok. Maybe I just want something new and shiny from Valve.
Alternatively steam link / moonlight
I have had problems with the official dock so I got a cheap third party replacement and it has been flawless.

It quite often didn’t recognize the HDMI output so I’d have to try all kinds of things like rebooting and unplugging/replugging until it would finally output to my screen. Also had some trouble getting it to start charging a few times.

Wow that might have helped actually. My third party dock never needed any troubleshooting like that though so I’ve stuck with that.
I got a cheap third party stand/dock and use my Deck more in the living room than I do portably now.
There is no master plan. They’ve started this project and scraped it multiple times. They’ve fired the entire team multiple times, even sold the team the tech once.
