That's not really how I read it. Clearly they are leveraging vale products, (steam os) so include steam in the name. They probably want this name to evoke strength and power, so what's something with steam in the name that is powerful? A steamroller.

I don't think it is meant to roll steam!

    They specifically advertise it as an "upgradable alternative to the Steam Machine"; with that in mind, assuming the name isn't intended to evoke comparisons to Steam Machine is kind of ridiculous, no?

    I'm getting some white knighty wiffs from this outrage over someone daring to compete with valve.
