Doesn't seem like they can, I had high hopes for both the steam controller and the steam machine - I thought it was a great marketing play, but the way they rolled them out and supported them was lame. Imagine if they'd rolled out the Steam Machine with an enhanced half-life bundle (or dare I say even a new valve game).
I think we need to just accept that Valve is just an intermediary making transactional profits - we can hope at least one day they'll licence their IPs to developers but even that is unlikely.

Oh man, I still use my Steam Controller a lot, their scheme with "Big Picture/SteamOS" is pretty fantastic, I love the little two touchpads that turn into a keyboard, it's very intuitive. I still use Steam Link hooked up to my TV, and it runs great with ethernet connection. There are some apps and games I prefer to run on the TV.
you can even stream emulators through to your TV, so you can play wiiU games and stuff on your TV with an xbox controller or what have you. I really also enjoy just being able to easily surf my computer or browser from my TV. Steam Link is fantastic.
