Basically, if PlaytronOS works as promised, then your handheld PC will no longer be restricted to just single store fronts or Windows foibles.
Does the writer here assume that SteamOS is limited to a single storefront? Because that couldn’t be further from the truth. As you can see on Playtron’s website, they use the same launchers that you can already use on SteamOS, like Heroic.
You could easily run your Game Pass catalog on your Steam Deck, for example.
That is highly doubtful. I’d be very impressed if Playtron got Gamepass to work on Linux but let’s be real here, they didn’t.

No desktop mode, ties to crypto bros, lol
Yeah the desktop mode is a really nice feature of SteamOS. I’ll pass on this one.
$10M in funding has bought these guys a lot of press release articles to flood the link aggregators!
