Yup. It was more expensive for Valve because they have a custom chip. These other devices are using off-the-shelf chips, so it’s a lot cheaper.
Look at the minipc market (e.g. minisforum), and then add a screen, battery, and build in a controller. It’s really not a complicated product for a company that already makes similar devices, especially since they can probably reuse parts in other products.
