I made a similar comment elsewhere, but yes, for now it seems Valve is purposefully not pushing it too hard, for now at least. I think a large part of that is ironing out the kinks that come with launching a new product, especially in a space where you have little experience. The Steam Deck launched with some software quirks, that would not have gone over that well with the general public, but by focusing on PC gamers who are used to a little more jank, they can launch to a more forgiving audience while improving the experience.
