"It's not a goal in itself to convert users who already have a good experience."

Well yeah... Windows users can still use Steam. They sell games. They don't want people to switch anything; they wanna sell more games.
And they want to hedge against Windows trying to monopolise the gaming market. You know, the kind of thing government oversight used to prevent in days gone by.
tbh i have more faith in Gabe and val e than the DoJ
Honestly it's not that Gabe or Valve is a FOSS champion, it's just that FOSS is the only viable alternative to a potential Windows walled garden, so it's what they used.
If SteamOS plays a significant role in killing Windows, the credit will still belong to the FOSS movement. They are the ones that laid the ground for SteamOS to stand on, and they are the ones who ensured it couldn't be fenced in once more.
good point!
