Assuming that is the argument my counter argument would be that making a Linux version involves more than a checkbox; you now have extra platforms you need to test on and extra complexity in supporting your game in return for very little benefit. If there are issues on the new platform you then need dev time to address them; Unity might support multiple platforms but that doesn't guarantee your code will 100% work everywhere.
If steambox provides a known Linux environment with users wanting games it becomes a much better proposition to make a Linux version, even if official support is only for Steam Linux and not Linux in general.

I don't think that's a counterargument, I think you're agreeing with what he said ;) > If steambox provides a known Linux environment with users wanting games it becomes a much better proposition to make a Linux version That is a counterargument. I tend to agree. I hope you're right!
