The point of a distro is to select what you support. SteamOS only has one DE etc.

Except the user-base wants infinite customizability, and users are often to mess with it. And getting the code to just work together nicely is a nightmare, where OS updates can break drivers, forcing you to try to jerry rig a solution that partially works.

You let something like Arch target those users that want infinite customizability. SteamOS certainly does not offer that.

And if there was such a nightmare to create a distro, how come there are so many?
