If it was 50% market share, nobody would ignore Linux

I don't think that's ever going to happen.

But even if it did, do you seriously think legacy companies would want to support it? Linux encourages knowledge, tinkering and vendor independence which is not what these companies want. They want a locked down platform that keeps the companies safe.

Valve wants a platform that they don't need to pay fees on

Honestly that's a valid reason. However, a lot of companies don't like Linux for one reason or another.
