One game I am looking forward to the Linux port is Transistor by Super Giant Games. They said when it first comes out, it will be available on PS4 and PC. And they will be working on a Linux and Mac port soon afterwards[0]. As for the trend, I have normally seen the Linux port as a stretch goal for Kickstarters. While it's a shame it isn't a priority from the start, I feel that this is another sign of the increasing trend. Developers are considering it an incentive, which isn't a bad thing. Another thing I think the author left out is Steam In-home Streaming [1]. It allows you to play any game that can be played through Steam, on a non-windows computer that has Steam on the same LAN. (I think even those that aren't on Steam, if you add it to steam as a non-steam game. I haven't tested this though) While not the most optimal setup (a powerful windows machine dedicated to streaming one game at a time, with a dumb terminal or another computer without windows), I feel it is designed with the SteamOS in mind to increase the amount of games that can be played. Those that already have a powerful gaming computer can hook up a Steam Box to their living room TV and play any game they have access to (and through Steams ability to share libraries, some you haven't purchased by your family (or friends) have purchased). I've tested the Steam In-Home streaming myself. I was using a very under-powered laptop at the time. If that were the case, I'm sure the latency over LAN would be negligible. Which I believe is the fatal flaw that OnLive had.
