Valve appear to have some pretty ambitious future plans for Steam, as we've seen recently a leak (and not for the first time) that Valve has plans for ARM64 and Android support on Linux.
I think there’s just people that trust Valve more than Linux in general.
SteamOS on the deck is extremely foolproof, and people who are otherwise scared of Linux seem to think SteamOS magically fixes every perceived issue with desktop Linux.
Desktop mode is kind of funky, though. You need to open steam to type on the on-screen keyboard, lol. App store got patched and it’s better, but sometimes the apps get stuck downloading and I need to open up the command line to make them install

That’s my best guess but I’m just some dude.
Sounds like a good guess. I would use it just because I’m already familiar with it.
