That's simply not true. Steam deck is nothing special hardware wise. You can use proton on any Linux distro to run the same games that will run on steam os. Valve is not in the proprietary console market.
It was true but it wasn't done by Valve and not in hardware. Just some developers deciding to explicitly not support Linux, but wanting to support Steam Deck, so they added some naive checks for that. Unfortunately I don't remember the specific titles as I wasn't interested in any of them.
