I'm pretty sure they outsource/fund a fairly large amount of the work, the article mentions Igalia & from memory Codeweavers are largely responsible for Proton.

Valve itself is a pretty small shop. Although their own efforts & funding absolutely should be praised.

Userspace stuff for sure. But the drivers are mostly Valve.

Take a look at the PDF of the talk from the article. There are numerous examples of Igalia contributions to the kernel.
