You can install steam on Fedora using an RPM repository. But everyone using the Steam Flatpak will show up as Freedesktop SDK, no matter the distribution. For Fedora-based gaming distributions such as Bazzite, this is the default way to use Steam.

Yep, that's me in there. I'm a Fedora KDE + Flatpak user.

Yeh thats probably the reasoning. Its relatively simple for most users to just install via Flatpack in the GUI.
