Valve has been doing (or trying to do) Linux things for a long time. The reason is Microsoft's move towards a centralized Windows Store and their Xbox on Windows. That's a huge threat to Valve because they could all of a sudden find themselves in a situation where the preferred way to game on Windows is through their gaming competitor Microsoft's services because they control the OS. That's why Valve has been working hard for many years now to get gaming on Linux to the state it's currently in. It's for survival on their part.
