Exactly. And Steam invests in Linux as a first class platform. I have used Linux since well before Steam had a client, and they won me over by actually porting their client, and they continue to earn it by making more and more games available to me.

No other platform seems to care, so I don't care about them. I'm pretty easy to please, just make your platform available, and integrate some way (that already exists) for me to try to play Windows games through the client. That's it, and I'm not firm on the Windows games thing (e.g. I'd buy Linux games from GOG if they just port their client or officially mention support for Heroic, that's it).
