There's plenty of cheap adapters for these use cases.

It's not "these use cases". It's the primary use case for the USB ports on this device.

The entire pitch for the Steam Machine is to use it as a gaming console. Needing adapters for the most common controllers would be nuts. There's plenty of C-to-A adapters for other use cases.

The Steam Machine is clearly not a high-end gaming console. I don't think most users will be using wired controllers. I could be wrong, of course.
