I'm not sure the steam deck even could ship with Heroic if they wanted. While epic should like the idea of valve making it easier to play egs games, Heroic is still a tool meant to bypass their product to play their games.

As an open source community project it's fine, but Epic might not take it well if their biggest rival started advertising support for their game store through a non-epic launcher.
