They could have easily crammed the Steam Deck full of stuff to make it hard to use for piracy - locking down everything, making it usable only to play games you legitimately own, force you to go through who knows what hoops in order to play games on it.

I feel like the Steam Deck is the best proof of Gabe Newell's quote that "piracy is a service issue."
