I’m far to be a pro Microsoft but Windows is more versatile to run games. Asus understood it. If you want to play with steam, xbox, gog or indie games. It’s far more flexible than linux even if some huge progress were done.
And for a handheld, Linux is perfect. Yeah, anticheat games generally don’t work on Linux, but I don’t want to play those anyway on a handheld. Steam Deck is for playing around the house or on a plane or something, my desktop PC is for more hardcore gaming.
You don’t may be, but LOL and Fortnite represent 365 millions of gamers. That’s a huge market.
The steam deck is only for steam. You don’t like DRM free games ? Do you prefer to deal with a single company who decide when and what games had to be removed ?

It’s not versatile at all, it’s just what most games are made for so it doesn’t have to be.
Linux is more versatile because it can play games it wasn’t targeted for.
You can’t even play the top 5 games on Linux due to the anti cheat.

The impressive part is that some of those games can actually run even better than on Windows.
