Slowly getting their stuff independent of wintel gives a lot of flexibility. And the big gaming market's on phones / tablets. A steam controller could find itself paired to an iPad running steam in a year or two.

The only play I see here is a legitimate Valve console to take on XBOX and Sony. Plus Arm on a Steam Deck would improve the battery life considerably (assuming they are able to integrate with some powerful GPU solution).

We're too far into the grip of monopolies for that. Apple would never let a full version of Steam run on iPads. Google wouldn't either.

I think more ARM Valve hardware is likely.
