Even if they want to open-source it, an issue is the amount of work of organizing the repository, making sure it's properly organized and doesn't have any files they don't want to distribute, and then maintaining that with future versions.

What? Proton (i.e., WINE) has been LGPL Free Software since before Valve even touched it.

Sorry, what I mean is, if Valve wasn't forced to keep it opensource, I think a big factor against would be the extra work
