Yeah, the form factor, HDMI-CEC support, and integration with other valve hardware are what really sell it. But it's not going to be underpriced for the specs, like consoles tend to be.

RAM costs will likely affect both custom built machines and the steam machine equally.

Plus the economy of efficiencies, steam will fix issues that cause frustration on their known setup of hardware as it is known parts and a larger audience

Building your own pc is great, but the variation in performance makes for a mixed bag of experience playing the same game on different setups (different GPU, drivers etc etc)

I’m not sure what your point is here exactly, but for one, you’re underestimating the new prices for upper end DDR5 RAM severely; and secondly guess what GPUs come with a bunch of?

Depends what you mean by "upper end", but already 64GB is running for over $600. And it's almost certainly going to get worse. I wouldn't be stunned if 32GB tops out at close to $1000 next year.
