If you look at the Steam Hardware Survey itself, Steam Deck makes up less than a third. Though there will surely be a few whacko’s that do it anyway.

Ive already seen it. I forget the game but there was a recent one that had a steam deck allow profile but blocked Linux outright.

It did that because they were worried about people circumventing the cosmetic microtransactions. In essence they blocked Linux for DRM purposes.
