Sure they are much more notorious, but as it turns out most of the time there is absolutely no reason for that. Just take current hysteria around TikTok, even if it was correct (which I would argue it isn’t) no one cares about all the other apps that we know for sure spy on you and give info to US government (and others).

I would say that the biggest benefit is that few developers actually put even the minimal amount of effort to support things like anti-cheat in few games. I am not sure we would have that without Steam Deck.
