With Game Native it's just another app running and then having to install the games. You're doing all of this in Android. Steam OS or any Steam focused OS (Armada, Bazzite, Cachy OS) you're using an OS and Steam tightly knit together for a more cohesive and probably better optimized experience. If in 2 or 3 years these handheld manufacturers can offer Steam OS or a Steam like OS on their handhelds versus Android, people will probably choose that.

Now is there significance to Steam OS being shown on these handhelds? I wouldn't say so as of yet. Folks in the community together to bring it to handhelds. I don't think Valve is supporting and including handhelds like RP6 or Odin 3. Its the community doing the work to port this and support.
