you only need one pool of memory

RAM is dirt cheap lately, so I don't think it would make sense to design entire custom circuitry to save on that

It absolutely would. 16GB of VRAM and another 16GB of system RAM adds up. Plus the other associated costs.

The rumour is nonsense and Valve isn't making a console with a 9070.

Valve isn't making a console, but independent OEMs definetly are. There were branding guidlines released by Valve some time ago. It looks like Valves plan is to maintain the operating system, while everyone else is making hardware running it.
