That could be what they're waiting for.
However, I do not believe SteamOS is going to be the silver bullet people think it is. I'm somewhat of a fanboy of Valve but SteamOS is really only good for a console-like PC experience.
People who want to ditch Windows need to look at Linux as a whole, not just SteamOS.
Michael Horn talks about this in greater detail: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y4g1dZfF5KA
If people want to ditch Windows then the gaming industry needs to stop gating the community. Either get rid of the shitty anti Linux anticheat or tell them to turn on Linux support naturally. For fucks sake I can't believe I find out most anticheat just needs a simple email to turn it on for Linux.
I agree entirely. An argument could be made about native Linux releases being too much but most games run with Proton if the devs don't intentionally cripple it through kernel anticheat or other arbitrary limitations.
