According to YouTuber Dave2D who managed to get their hands on the Lenovo Legion Go S, the SteamOS version destroys Windows in performance and battery life.
That’s precisely why I said " Steam work on these? Doesn’t Proton work on these? Doesn’t KDE Plasma work" rather than just Steam.
IMHO the biggest component of the whole setup isn’t Steam itself (which is convenient to get games, manages saves, etc) or KDE Plasma (which is a nice UI) but rather Proton. None of that would work without the compatibility layer and it goes beyond Wine including thanks to all the community feedback from e.g. ProtonDB.
So I agree, SteamOS isn’t Steam but that’s anyway not what I suggested.

Sure, but the person you quoted was specifically talking about steamOS. You bringing up steam/proton/kde plasma was out of place.
Please explain what you believe are the core constituent of SteamOS if they are not Steam, Proton and KDE Plasma?
