To play devil’s advocate, why does Valve need to bother to make their own controller when there are a number of wired and wireless controllers available for PCs?
None have additional buttons on the back that can be mapped as new buttons, they’re all just rebinding existing buttons. Steam deck is pretty special in that regard. I would REALLY like to have those four extra buttons available for couch PC gaming.
Steam already lets you remap those back buttons on other controllers to anything you want through their interface. Isn’t that how you’d do it with a Steam controller?
What other controllers? No other controllers expose back buttons as individually assignable buttons that I’m aware of except Steam Deck and Steam Controller since those use Steam’s own interface instead of xinput or dinput
Because PC controllers these days are nothing but different variants of the same Xbox and Playstation controllers. The Steam controller is different from the rest of them, at least.

Because the Steam Deck is my all-time favorite controller. A controller that’s just like it but without the bulkiness would only make it better
