Long story short, if the Steam Machine gains enough market share, game publishers will want to join in because it will mean more money for them. It's all about money.

I originally thought the Steam Deck would be enough for that, but it appears not yet. Maybe the combined share can move the needle

I didn't feel the steam deck is really a multi player device, as Valve mentions. It's more of a pick up and play for a little bit when I have the time or public transportation.
