Lots of big fixes and updates. I love that they’re actively providing support and fixes even for 3rd party handhelds. Doesn’t really benefit them, but they’re doing it.

The better the Steam ecosystem works on third party handhelds, the more chance those users will buy Steam games.

Great point!

And the better the Steam ecosystem works on Linux, SteamOS and other distros, the bugger chance that gamers are moving to Linux and that developers are adding support for Linux. Which makes Steam less dependent on Microsoft/Windows.
