That would be a problem.

See point a. Everyone is so capitalism-brained they assume every company’s goal is to sell the maximum amount of product and anything less is abject failure. (Ok that’s a bit of hyperbole.) But Valve is a weird company and we just don’t know what their criteria for success is.
If they’re aiming for a market the same size or larger than the Steam Deck, they will probably struggle at higher price points. But if they’re look at 1-2M units? That could be doable with people like me. That’s a relatively small portion of the gaming market, but might be enough for them to be worth it.
