Different Linux distributions are more binary compatible than BSD/OSX is. Besides Steam has been repackaged for other distros but their official support is only for Ubuntu currently. If they did start supporting other distributions it is difficult to know where that should end. Perhaps there is a case for supporting Fedora and perhaps Debian, but what about Slackware,Gentoo,Mint,Arch etc? It would be impossible to guarantee it would work on every wacky distro out there.
