Is there a reason you can't just use the normal OS package repo like everyone else?

No, but the average (read: casual) user isn’t comfortable using the command line to install packages from the command line (and I don’t think SteamOS comes with a package manager UI), so there’s a huge potential install base for users if they could install it via the UI.
It comes with Discover, the KDE Plasma GUI package manager. You can install Flatpaks using it on SteamOS.
