"PS5 Pro for a premium optimised console experience"
LOL, no.
People will buy PCs with Windows, not with Steam OS, cause PCs are flexible to do everything you need, not only to play. And people do more things in PCs than just playing games (but now, they easily can use them as consoles, if they want).
And a steamdeck (and similar devices) maybe do not need a Windows, true, but they are not PCs, are portable consoles using PC hardware... to play PC games in portable mode. Seems the same? it is not. You can't seriously do anything else there, so... no need to use Windows if Steam OS has some good layers to run well Windows games and reduces the requirements or the tasks in the background when you play.
It's a product for a very specific type of machines (It's basically a "dedicated Linux distro", as they have existed for many many years). Do not expect people changing Windows for a Linux in its daily PC. They won't. And I used to be a Linux user many years (always next to a partition for Windows, because you eventually will need Windows for some program or whatever.
