Freeing gamers from Microsoft is definitely one of Valve's goals. They contributed so much to wine, proton and Linux in general.

But tbh I, and probably many others, don't care that much about the Linux. I would've been fine if it was Windows with the same price and performance. What I care about, that I can play mobile.

If I just wnated Linux I would install Linus on my PC, no real need to buy an extra device just for that.

Well that's the thing, I'm very aware that most people don't know or don't care. But Microsoft has been using this to their advantage for years. It would be better for the consumer to have somewhat of a choice even if they're not too aware of it.
