AMDGPU full HDMI 2.1 implementation under way AMD's first public patch series adds HDMI FRL, while a full implementation is expected once the remaining
while its not correct, a major thing about the steam machine is that its supposed to function as a console as well as a PC meaning that you would be required to use HDMI for one of the major use cases which 2.1 would be useful for
In that case, I’d argue thats just marketing nonsense because they’re not going to be running anything more graphically intensive than Tetris at 4k/120.
Yep modern consoles upscale to 4k so some games can run upscaled 4k/120 which is marketing nonsense when they advertise true 4k.

Almost no one will be connecting their Steam Machine to a 4k/120Hz TV.
You do realize that all modern consoles support upscaled 4k at 120hz right and the steam machine is directly competeing with these console.
Most people don’t have a tv capable of outputting this but newer tvs do support higher frame rates for reasons like high frame rate gaming
Hdmi 2.1 will be important for future proofing
