You don't have to enter desktop mode to launch them. You have to enter desktop mode to install them and add them as a non-steam game to your steam library so that they'll show up in handheld mode.

So a bit easier but still not first class citizens citizens, by definition. It is called steam os after all, so I don't necessarily expect anything different, but this company wants to offer something new. Seems like this os is less dependent on steam integration, which I would view as a plus.
