To be fair if Steam Controller's features weren't exactly necessary on PC.
It filled a small niche which bluetooth keyboard and mice would probably fill too. It's not comfortable to use it instead of a regular controller for games meant for controllers, and it's usually not that great for games meant for K+M.
On consoles it would make a world of difference, especially with Steam's controller settings allowing you to customize it however you want. But console kiddies are braindead and would rather argue how controller is superior to K+M but then shit their pants from anger when you link them those Playstation K+M set-ups or ask about aim-assist.
Current VR came out in a very bad time. Most of the market is shifting towards games that play themselves and scams like gacha. VR is inherently boomer tech, and Valve really had no choice but to use their boomer IPs to advertise it.
