Do you know what I want?
I want to be able to install Steam games with low requirements on my mobile phone. With the leaps and bounds Valve has made with Proton to run Windows-Based games on Linux, the thought of Steam games on Android (Linux based) does not feel that far away.

What this would mean for us as end-users, is an alternative to the usual slop you get on Google Play, or having to buy a game you like a second time.

Perhaps this is already something that the Valve development and planning team has been thinking of, and yes, there will probably be roadblocks put in place by Google to block it, but Epic Fail Store has already had some success in this field with their legal attack on Apple's store front a few years back.

I think this would be the most pro-consumer move they could pull and even if it sounds improbable, it definitely is something I would love to see.

A man can dream.

The problem is that mobile phones have tiny screens and no input devices; PC games just won't be playable, even if they run.

And while it might be possible to get some form of controller for a phone -- how many people actually have that?

I think I should probably clarify, because

was not clear enough.
I'm not talking about playing the new COD or Battlefield or MS Flight Simulator, but rather games available on steam that WOULD work on a touch screen. 2d games like Terrraria and Starbound come to mind, but are by no means exhaustive.

There is an emulator called Winlator4.0 with which you can play Quake 4, Metro 2033 or even Dark Souls on a phone(apparently). People have already invested time and effort in making it happen, so there is a market for it.
There are also no reasons (Bar maybe Bluetooth bandwith) why any modern controller can not be connected to a phone, should a person wish that. It is more a case of the infrastructure not having been developed yet, or more likely, actively blocked by Android, than a case that in the modern world, it is *still* impossible to do so.

Oh oh oh. This just popped up on my feed. I will have to look into it properly and keep my eye on it.

I'm not going to speculate, what it means yet, but this sounds juicy.

That’s like the entire point a steam deck and big picture mode?

I was stuck in the hospital for awhile and used a switch controller with my phone to play my pc games over steam link. It also gives you an on screen controller option that can be mapped however you want.
