They know none of the competition are anywhere close to as good since they don't use Linux.

They also don't have the thumb touchpads that Valve has put so much effort into. That's a huge form-factor advantage.

Steam Input integration with the touchpads is so underrated, mode shifting between a keypad and game commands is something that literally nothing else can replicate. Not to mention the dual haptic feedback, and accurate pressure sensing. Really opens up a world of possibilities

Wish Valve considers a Steam Controller 2 with the game guts as the controller in the Deck. Despite the Deck taking heavy inspiration from the OG controller, the difference in experience is night and day
