I mean yeah that makes sense given what they saw happen to the new steam controller. They want the devices in the hands of people who want to actually use them, not some scalper who only cares to profit off of the hype.
Valve had limits in place for controller orders, like requiring an existing Steam account witb a purchase history. They just didn't set up a queue.
And if you look, there doesn't seem to be a huge number of scalpers. My guess it's just a handful of people who got lucky, and decided they'd rather get $200-400 and wait longer for a controller for themselves
