Steam is a pretty niche userbase and not at all representative of the desktop market at large.

The same can be said about Linux desktop share. Should we draw the same conclusions?

Except gaming is not that "niche":

1.35 billion PCs worldwide - https://www.statista.com/statistics/610271/worldwide-persona...

47M active daily and 90M monthly users for steam https://www.pcgamer.com/steam-now-has-90-million-monthly-use...

I don't think so - I see nobody with a desktop computer these days except gamers or people running CAD or modelling who are basically doing the same thing as running a game.
