I'm not interpreting it any different from how you mean it. The question they were asked, and I can't find the question itself again though I did find the response, but iirc it was whether they were influenced by the switch, or how much they were influenced by it. That's a very open question and they said they simply didn't think about the switch, they were focused on designing the deck to be appealing to the pc market and that any perceived similarities were a coincidence. The reason they decided on a portable to push steamos was simply because they wanted to play pc games beyond a desktop. They weren't thinking about the switch as hardware, they weren't thinking about its success. They had other goals, some that were in motion years before the switch. It's an easy assumption to make, but they would have no reason not to say they were, if they actually were. They've praised the switch before as a device that brings joy to people..
>but Microsoft can just pay them a mountain of cash to put Windows on it instead.
They can just sell two different versions, which is already happening with the legion go s. And yes, steamos is way better for gaming. Microsoft is also looking to put steam front and center on future xbox's so they've basically given up on trying to compete with steam itself in any real way. SteamOS is still so small it's not really any threat to them, but we'll see if they can fix windows. I doubt it, because it's the bloatware, adware, spyware, telemetry and all the constantly running background processes they make money off of that's slowing windows down.
