wow, this is a good promotion for SteamOS models, as pre-install windows license should cost Lenovo $5 or less afaik.

I guess part of it is that users vaguely know how much the windows license costs them and will accept that kinda price increase on top for windows?

very comfortable margin for Lenovo there

People may also be under the impression that Microsoft charges a similar price for Windows as they do to individuals. Which is about $180 for Home edition in my country, Brazil.
