The irony is now that the Deck is locked down to Valve's ecosystem, while other devices can play games from Steam too but also from Origin, GOG, Xbox, EA Play...
Steam deck is capable of installing apps from all of those stores except obviously Xbox... It's just an arch Linux desktop. It's probably the least locked down handheld computer you can buy. Not sure where you're getting this info that the deck is locked to valve's ecosystem.
