I wonder if SteamDeck counts toward desktop share here? It kinda is a desktop OS, even though it's mainly used on a handheld device. Either way, I think that contributes a lot to normalization and stability of the ecosystem, if not device count.
The big factor though is probably just a shrinking market. For people that aren't computer nerds or businesses, it's getting less likely they own a laptop or desktop, and more likely they think their phone is good enough.
Only if Steam Decks are being counted by StatCounter
They count by website traffic so probably not, no.
