Long story short, if the Steam Machine gains enough market share, game publishers will want to join in because it will mean more money for them. It's all about money.
Use Linux to game folks
I originally thought the Steam Deck would be enough for that, but it appears not yet. Maybe the combined share can move the needle
I didn't feel the steam deck is really a multi player device, as Valve mentions. It's more of a pick up and play for a little bit when I have the time or public transportation.
