I was about to comment to say that unless Valve is prepared to invest significant effort into an x86 -> ARM translation layer that's not going to happen but a quick search for "linux x86 to arm translation" led me to an XDA article[1] proving me wrong. The recently announced Steam Frame runs on ARM and can run x86 games directly using using something called FEX.
Now we just need to be as good as (or better than) Apple's Rosetta.

Running Windows stuff.....
I don't use Windows but I do run a lot of software made only for Windows. I don't see any problem with that.
Until the fountain runs dry, because the kingdom lords diverted the river from Valve's well castle.

I quite prefer that to the alternative of not running Windows stuff.
Thing is, that strengths Windows market relevance, as IBM learnt with OS/2 and its Windows compatibility.
