Did Framework ever distance themselves from Omarchy after the whole discussion in October? Otherwise I hope and expect Steam to know better than to align themselves with Framework.
Any additional context for those out of the loop?
This was the first blog that I found on the matter: https://gardinerbryant.com/the-omarchy-framework-thing/
tldr; DHH is a controversial figure, and Framework are latching onto Omarchy. I think some folks think that Framework's image is being tarnished by working with DHH.
DHH is a controversial figure who increasingly comes out as tone deaf and perpetuating reactionary myths. It's not new either.

Why would Framework "distance" themselves from Omarchy? What's a Linux distro got to do with anything?
The problem is not the distro per se, but the person behind it.

Valve most likely cares about more relevant things than idiotic Internet shitfights, such as functional technology, or paying customers.
What would a Framework partnership accomplish? Ship SteamOS as a preinstalled option for their laptops?
That actually would be a cool idea and doable.
You seem to be forgetting the framework desktop which is very similar in form factor to the new steam machine: https://frame.work/desktop
