Handheld PC makers are slowly losing touch with Valve's successful Steam Deck template of affordability, and that's very concerning (www.techradar.com)

Any device that come with SteamOS by default, is a device that doesn't come with both Windows and Xbox game store by default. Basically Valve isn't paying for the OS, it's paying for devices that run Steam Store by default (instead direct, unfair, competition from Microsoft)

Can Windows PC come by default with Steam Store? Of course... if Microsoft allow them to.
