Now add Apple Arcade, iPad OS and iOS into the picture.

That would only make sense if Apple would allow a Steam client on iOS.

On the contrary, if SteamOS usage from SteamDeck count as Linux Desktop, then so should Apple mobile devices.

Additionally, if we are comparing the Linux gamer ecosystem to Apple, then also the Apple ecosystem should be taken into account.

> "if SteamOS usage from SteamDeck count as Linux Desktop"

SteamOS basically is a Linux Desktop. Steam Deck is just a hand-held form-factor PC with built-in Steam Controller, and SteamOS is basically just Valve's custom Arch Linux with KDE Plasma desktop and Steam "Big Picture" mode as "desktop" environments.

No, they shouldn't, because Apple mobile devices don't run Linux, nor Steam.
