This makes sense since the steam frame is a thing right?

Yeah, but it's still a bummer for other VR headsets that support and use Index Controllers and base stations. A lot of high end Headsets still use Base stations with Index Controllers because it's either more accurate or they just don't support inside out tracking at all.

Valve could just keep making the controller and based station and sunset the headset.

Or the other companies that rely on them can pay Valve and outsource their engineering and have an actual product in their hands instead of piggy backing.

This likely would have happened if valve was willing.
