It doesn't help that they've put in little effort to improve their platform. With all of the money that they've spent giving away games, they could have instead dedicated resources towards building a something akin to steam's community and rating system. Without that, Epic is unlikely to compete with steam as a vendor of non-exclusive games.

It doesn't help that they don't push the platform, it is simply not as good on a device like the deck, or a TV, and Tim Sweeney is so hostile to Linux making it stuck with the awful Windows UX.
Games get my money on Steam because Steam provides me with a great experience to play those games. It's far more than just a CDN, and all it takes is to try to use an EA game on the Deck to see how bad other platforms are.
