Looks like a guide here for how to include steam branding, but "Powered by SteamOS" branding might be referring to Valve letting third parties, maybe Asus Ally for example, come preinstalled with SteamOS instead of Windows.

But pure speculation

Guidelines on how Valve wants manufacturers to use the SteamOS branding, implying they may be in talks for people to ship products with it pre-installed. Which may also imply they're getting somewhat close to a release of a generic installer that'll work on more hardware as I think I remember reading they wanted to get it to hardware vendors first

Remember the problem with the steam console was the vast array of hardware options and price points

Hopefully Valve will ensure all machines are to spec
