I"m not sure where you are getting this from, but there's absolutely no demand, and I mean none at all, for another Steam Link hardware.
You can run some form of Steam Link on basically anything you can hook up to a TV (or the TV itself).

Sure, and how many of those devices that you hook up to a TV can handle Steam Link at 4K 120 FPS?

Your TV OS may or may not be able to, but if your TV can't then you have basically no other options. The original Steam Link can't, The NVIDIA Shield can't, the Fire TV Stick/Fire TV Cube can't, the Roku can't, the Apple TV 4K can't, none of them can do Steam Link at 4K 120 FPS. An HTPC can, but good luck with HDMI-CEC on that.

I'm not out of touch for thinking 4K at high refresh rates would be nice to have.
