Isn't Steam a locked down ecosystem?

steam deck allows you to install whatever you want and ships with an arch-based distro (steamos 3.0)

I'm aware. It's functionally a mobile PC. I mean isn't Steam a closed ecosystem? Not the Steam Deck, but Steam specifically?

Yeah, but you could also install GOG games on a deck. Steam is closed, but the deck ain't.
