        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

            You do realize that all modern 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

              I do not understand this word salad.

              newer tvs do support higher frame rates

              Yes, very expensive high end ones that very few people are buying. And always will, because they’re niche products.
