They have everything to win and nothing to lose. SteamOS is purpose built to direct you to Steam, Valve only wins.

Depends how they view their business evolving. Ask Apple if you can build a device that runs iOS.

If they want to be in the hardware business and SteamOS is the best thing out there, they very much may not want to make it easy for other people to run.

They already stated they want to have SteamOS 3.0 available for everyone to download and install on any machine.

There's still a looong way to go before Valve can even think of doing something like that.
