I seem to recall gabeN posting to the effect that the average Mac running Steam was better-equipped than the average PC running Steam. If that's true, the non-upgradability might not have entered into it. As to this "piston" thing here - I don't think upgradability will be an anchor. The whole project isn't remotely feasible unless a distro for build-your-own boxes is also launched. In which case the specifics of this box are more a blueprint for builders and a performance baseline for developers. Sales probably wouldn't even track net adoption until the enthusiasts build out their custom rigs and start convincing their less-technical friends they can have almost all the same awesome without getting any thermal paste on their hands.
