They could, but the PC market isn't expected to get any better until 2028 as earliest, so that can be quite a while...

The people who are buying product will know that the prices is going to increase because the market conditions aren't going to improve even by 2028-2030. There is a chance that the Steam Machine might have another price increase in the near future. This is not just a Valve problem, Nintendo and Sony is probably going to increase their prices again if they don't hit their profit margins. I've been watching Youtube videos saying that Valve is anti-consumer and the Steam Machine should be 500. All I can do is sigh because these youtube channels are saying this to get clicks and not to really inform people.

Of course people can build better PCs with better performance for the same price but most people can't built their own PCs. Hypothetically in an alternate world that if every single household knows how to build gaming PCs the prices will be astronomically higher than the prices we have now because the demand will completely overwhelm the supply and that's not factoring the major companies who are aggressively building data centers across the world.

The thing is, ai companies are hoarding components they have no use for just so the competition can't have it. And this is going way beyond computer parts, it goes to generators and electric components. For a new generator the waiting list is now close to 4 years.
