Yes I said as much in my comment. There is still opportunity cost to all of these experiments which is especially impactful to a company as small as Valve.
Steam machines weren't expensive either, OEM PC costs are nothing compared to a "real" console rollout, with custom hardware contracts, permanent production lines and a whole advertising campaign.
