You can easily separate Proton development costs from the Steam Machine.

I have been buying Proton supported games on Steam and they know it.

    What's the profit margin on that do you think?

    I have no idea, but Valve does because they have the analytics for it. They can see what games are bought, played and ran on Proton.

    And it seems profitable.
