I don’t know about any background services; it’s their cloud gaming service. It would be a benefit for the people who want to switch to Linux but have a game or two they want to play that can’t be run on Linux, because of things like kernel level anti-cheat or whatnot.

I think it's also a great option for games that don't run well on the steam deck due to lacking performance.
