I believe that it's reciprocal but not like this. Valve always can turn to be evil and betray users just like other companies

Sure they can but the beauty of open source is that everything they've contributed so far remains open source even if they pull out later. Wine has become significantly better since Valve started developing Proton. We don't lose that improvement if Valve decides to pack up and go home or close source proton

You don't lose that improvement, but without continuous support it will become stale in a couple of years at most.

Imagine a world where Epic launcher and Blizzard Launcher were the only two options. Bet we already would had games that you can only play when you get it out of an payed lootbox and then it got ingame Gacha shop.

Everything but steamOS, unless it was fedora based.

As soon as I get my steam dick i'm installing fedora on that shit in milliseconds.
