Valve being a cool company might be true and all but I think there’s also the real reason that steam makes money by selling games, and making it easy for users to stick to gaming (with steam) ensures ongoing income. Imagine someone who now loves gaming on TV but being annoyed by their broken steam link - what are they going to buy next? A PlayStation and years without a game sold to them.
I wish I had one of these 😩
I used to run the service through the app on my Samsung TV and it ran mostly ok before Samsung pulled the plug on it last year.

I love mine. Had audio streaming break for me but switched my desktop to Linux. Back to perfect function.
Oh, I have one of those laying around somewhere. Need to get a power adapter for it. Or I guess a USB to barrel adapter would do?
I have one of these that I never use. Good to know they're still getting updates. I do have a potential application for mine in the near future.
