Wouldn’t the controller just work with Steam on their own? I imagine they might not work on a console, but they should work with Steam.

If they work like the Index controllers, no, they won’t connect without Steam VR running. But maybe they’re different.

The HMD served as a Bluetooth (or related protocol) hub for the peripherals. Also wondering if the Frame will use lighthouses Pl like Index does or have the tracking from the HMD like Oculus and newer HTC’s do. I’m hoping for that with accurate hand/finger tracking

The tracking is internal. No lighthouses for this one.

As far as I recall they did say that you can use them with the Steam Machine.
I just want a good controller where the hands aren’t forced to be together. The Switch ones are too small for me.

Do you recall where you saw that? I can’t find the statement. Would be cool if true though. Wasn’t possible for Index Controllers.

Probably one of the early videos when they were announced.
