Ok fair enough - however if you in one moment say :

Currently you’re required to tinker with each game to get them to work well. I’d suggest revisiting this in ten years.

And then in another you say :

Many games do work out of the box on steam.

Kinda sends mixed messages don’t you think?

Yeah, this is flat out not true. I play many games on my system that I just hit the launch button on. As one other person said you only need to make sure that Steam Play is enabled first. This is even on an nvidia gpu based system. Not to say that EVERY game is going to work out of the box, but to say that they all need to be tinkered with is just wrong.
