My chief concern with Steam OS, as covered by what is at least partially a Microsoft and Windows fan site, is that Steam OS is a serious threat and a direct attack on Microsoft. I respect what Valve has done for gaming on Windows with Steam. But Steam OS, by using API's created and promoted at significant cost by Microsoft, is performing some barely legal piracy in porting these APIs to Linux.

It's fine to cover this as something that MS has brought on itself by ignoring the handheld market or the state of the Microsoft Store (valid criticisms), but to cover Steam Deck and Steam OS here as a product of interest to Windows users without even acknowledging that Valve is at war with Microsoft (even if most gamers don't view it that way or care) is inappropriate.
