All of those platforms are HUGE and well worth the hassle.

I think Valve is trying to leverage the Steam Storefront into a full-fledged Platform. It is not quite there yet.

As such, they have invested a lot of effort into the compatibility layers, which allows gamedevs to support Steam Devices with no extra effort, or minimal effort, which is very important business vise.

As a gamedev, you essentially get a bonus platform for your game without extra dev effort!

Doesn't change the fact that Valve failed to create a business proposition to make native Linux a platform that is well worth the hassle.
