I only wonder if this means less games on the steam deck. They might publish to steam, but make it as hard as possible to run in proton/wine.
That's exactly what Microsoft is doing with UWP apps. Things like Microsoft Store apps and Xbox Game Pass won't work on Linux, but luckily nobody cares about it other than MS, and they do release regular exe versions of their games for steam and everyone else.
