The suggestion to leave out the NVMe to do it yourself is, because experienced users might already own one to reuse it. Off course they have to flash the operating system and install it themselves too. But tis could bring down the price substantially. And the price is a bit more stable from VALVEs side and less dependent on another hardware part, because they don't have to wait for the companies to sell the drive for a good price. For everyone else who want an out of the box experience can still buy the "regular edition". So offering this as an alternative is a good idea. BTW I made the exact same suggestion months before the launch. :-)
