Yes: Money

Ah yes, the thing Microsoft has so little of.

Supporting one system for now might help (e.g. only SteamDeck) but Iassume putting the package there makes it generally available for all users?

It would be available for all Linux users, Flatpak runtimes are a singular target to develop for, desktop Linux users usually are fine with 'only distribution XYZ supported, you're on your own for everything else', and Microsoft could even bundle a Proton-like compatibility layer based on actual Windows code and not allow more than just streaming.

As for only streaming: They make Edge for Linux already but rely on unpaid members of the Flatpak community to package Edge when they could just do it by themselves. Plenty of Linux expertise is already at Microsoft.

If I look around this platform I see mostly the vocal power users.
Remember you and I might be fine with CLI but the average SteamDeck buyer is probably nowhere near the desktop and only in the store front.

Command line is not needed.

"Enter Desktop Mode and install GamePass from Discover" is not a complicated thing to communicate, certainly easier than Microsoft's current tutorial how to do game streaming.

If you have seen the type of people I support at work you'd think three times before typing your earlier response.
I have folks (treating other fellow humans) asking me where the god damn Windows key is on the keyboard they are probably using for longer than I am alive.
Just today I had someone ask me to construct a combined search (basically a visual representation of a SQL query) from 4 parameters in a work language they are well versed in.

So going out of the steam store literally is for some uninspired gamer ,unwilling to use a fraction of their very capable mind, literally rocket science.

Millions of people manage to install Steam under Windows just fine.
