Valve never had a commitment to Linux beyond trying to break Microsoft's monopoly.

Don't get any illusions that Valve loves Linux, or Linux users. They just hate being locked into a Microsoft ruled monopoly.

And picking between MacOS and Linux as a platform to compete with Microsoft, it really is a no brainer that you'd pick Linux due to the freedom of development it offers.

You're the one with the correct point of view. If Microsoft comes to Valve with a sweetheart deal for the Steam Deck that truly unlocks more sales and compat, they'll drop Linux like a box of bricks.
