No they support it because of Azure Cloud and DotNet applications. But in some point in time, epic will probably deliver a Linux client and then Valve will probably be forced to make it easier to get the launcher, because they ship steam per default. It's the same thing the EU is cracking down on with Apple and Microsoft.
This argument is like saying the switch needs to include steam os software because they're both handheld gaming devices
Also, as I said previously, it's incredibly easy to install things on the steam deck, I don't think there is any way they could make it easier because you would just install it like any other Linux program
You either don't own a deck or don't know how to use desktop mode
It's just as easy to install a different browser on Windows.
It is though, I've been using non ie/edge browsers for over 15 years, but that's not why the EU went after them. It was because you could not change certain types of links and windows OS searches to open in anything other than edge
Could you argue in good faith please, or at least do some basic research on your points first
