You’re also not mentioning that even the base ps5, which was released 6 years ago, performs better than a Steam Machine. is that based on the specs or some reviews somewhere ?

I compared it to the yearly plan that showed up first. i was honestly not aware that there are different subscription tiers. when i used ps+ with the ps4 there was only one + as far as i know. the power of the machine is dissapointing and i commented before comparing the ps5+ specs with the SM. on the other side could it be a ok device if you want that formfactor, long softwaresupport and still have a pc that can be used for more than just playing games or watching tv. Especially if youre not into AAA-gaming and more into Indie or Emulators. There you‘ll get a bigger Library than from a regular Console. the price is also arround 7% more if you choose the SM over a comparable DIY according to gamers nexus so it seems fair i guess? that being said i think the current SM is more a niche product and not for the masses.
