If that was their intention I wouldn’t blame them either but Valve said it would become available for other manufacturers to use when the steam deck was first announced
From listening to Gabe’s early interviews about the Deck, I actually think they sell the hardware at a loss, with the intent of bringing in new customers.
Isn’t the secret sauce already available, with the issue being that it’s not adapted to run on a wider range of devices? I had the impression HoloISO was just that, but as a community project - putting in all the work to make it installable on various devices (and work correctly)
