"way WAY bigger" is a major overstatement. But even if that were true, SteamOS can handle lots of other non-steam storefronts.
For example, I recently went and played some World of Warcraft for old times sake with some friends on Linux. All I had to do was open Lutris which is available through a Flatpak on the SteamOS discovery tool, and then from Lutris you install the Blizzard Launcher. Opening the Blizzard launcher lets one install and play any of their games.

On first run, it will launch the blizzard client installation. The next runs will just open the launcher. I was able to play Overwatch on an AMD ubuntu laptop flawlessly.
