It’s true for me at least. If I like a freebie from Epic, I’m more likely to buy it on Steam also just so that I can use it easily with the Steam Deck without additional configuration.
Yeah, you need to install the Heroic launcher. Download the game, then in steam, add it as a non-steam game. This will let you access it from the nice UI.
I’ve installed games from both Epic and GOG on my steam deck via Lutris, and after it’s installed, it just takes a few clicks to have it visible in non-desktop mode. A little tedious sure, but not terrible.

It’s easy to use epic on steam deck? I need to look into this

Or install Decky and its plugin Unifydeck to have your Epic and GOG libraries appear seamlessly in your Steam library.
It’s easy, but at least for me Epic forces me to login again on deck frequently, which is very annoying for quick sessions while commute.
Doesn’t happen on desktop, which is weird
