Why? With Bazzite and similar that's kind of the whole point of them existing. Just installing Steam from Flathub or the repo is not going to get the same level of integration (gaming mode, etc.). Bazzite works really well on my PC handheld and I don't think a generic distro with Steam added after the fact would be the same. Id you want a distro without Steam bundled there are lots of those.

This shows a weakness than in the Linux desktop ecosystem that something has to be bundled to correctly integrate with the system.

It's no different to Chinese OEMs bundling additional stores with their phones.

		Microsoft had to bundle an Xbox gaming mode to compete. It's not a normal app.
