Valve has amazing hardware engineering skills and I have no idea, why companies like ASUS struggle to compete. They struggled with the Steam Deck, they will struggle with the Steam Machine.
Because valve does not need to profit,since they get money from people buying games.
They don't need to worry about shareholders demanding maximum profit. They are still going to be looking to profit but they can do things for purposes beyond just extracting as much as possible in the short term.
Sony is a shareholder corp and still does that.
With PC sales?
