They already control enough studios, PC and XBox market.
SteckDeck compatibility relies on "emulating" Windows ecosystem.
Remember DR-DOS, OS/2 and EEE PC.

They bought a lot of companies and are doing their level best at running them into the ground. Xbox is a dying platform. They may try some things that they've tried before (GFWL) but they're not going to succeed this time either.
Kernel-level anti-cheat is a bigger threat to gaming on Linux than anything Microsoft has directly done, but even that is fixable.

Agreed. Valve providing some service that gives local games less info, so they literally don't know where players are until they need to, might spell an end to wall hacking at least.
EEE PC was tiny, IBM (OS/2) were full of hubris, what happened to DR-DOS ?
Valve is neither tiny, nor does seem to be under the thrall of hubris. Also Microsoft seems complacent so far, though that might change.
