SteamOS is just there to run one single application: Steam.

Desktop mode isn't Steam.

Desktop mode is a nice extra because Valve are generally nice. But it's not what the purpose of SteamOS is. It's just an aside. The same way you can get a shell on your wifi camera. And you could run some silly servers on it. But that's not the point of your camera.
