I remember reading like a year ago that they wanted to get it on other handheld devices first (which this post looks to cover), so don't hold your breath but hopefully it's a step closer

They promised a generic release (no date) when steam deck was first revealed lol. Typical valve time but I know they’ll deliver a decent starting experience. They’ve leaned a lot and improved the steam deck software a lot too.

I get what you are saying, but is it really? Patches are a thing after all.

Hopefully getting some OEMs on board (that want SteamOS on their handhelds) makes it easier to maintain - I'm sure that's what they're kind of hoping for before releasing a general release.
