It's still more powerful than 70% of computers running Steam, so what's your point?

I did read it. That doesn't mean it was anything more than you throwing it in because it vaguely sounds like you're making a point
The Steam Machine is more powerful than 70% of systems on Steam. That means that those 70% of systems already need to do the same tricks to get similar performance. Valve isn't normalizing anything.
If anything, it's putting more pressure on devs to optimize for lower-end systems by giving them a "standard" system to target for optimization. We saw the same thing happen with the Steam Deck
