Remember you and I might be fine with CLI

Command line is not needed.

the average SteamDeck buyer is probably nowhere near the desktop and only in the store front.

"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.
