Valve wants nothing more than for other devices to ship Steam OS. They make some money on them, especially more expensive tiers, but the purpose is to allow people to play more games on PC instead of consoles, and in particular Linux so they're less reliant on Microsoft.

They don't actually care who sells the hardware.
