It’s such a weird decision for these devices, why purposefully gimp your product?

Because it's a safer bet than using SteamOS, all games are developed for Windows and you don't depend on another rival company for a game to run on your device.

You don’t need SteamOS you can use any other distro

It gives you better battery life and performance

You can also use your own implementation of Wine

And saying all games are on Windows is just incorrect
