Plus, that's a lot of work to do for just one shell mainly used by just one Linux distro, it's asking for a bit much, I think for now Valve should be just focusing on getting the normal Steam client running in a stable manner.
I think it's more important to keep Steam consistent across the OSes too, otherwise it could be jarring for steam users who are new to Linux and coming from Windows/Mac.
Cpasiva vam bol'soye. I always wanted like... Empathy integration for Steam chatting.
Jokes aside: I don't think it is going to happen. It would break consistency and bring up further issues. Also, what about supporting other Linux distributions, which is planned in the future.
"then smaller again as not all Unity users would want this, in fact I would say very few would" - Canonical is betting on people wanting one place for all their searches, which is why they put the Amazon shopping lens where it is. Valve can get its products in front of users whenever they make a relevant search in the Home lens, just like Canonical does with the Amazon lens. The more users see Steam games for sale, the more they are likely to find one they want and buy it. This seems to me like cheep way to increase sales.
"Then you have the ultimate reason, would you not rather Valve`s time was spent on other things?" - This really shouldn't take much time and effort at all, will put it on par with the native app store, increase what effectively counts as advertising, and increase sales. All these benefits will come as pretty much a small one-time investment.
"Plus Steam has great Unity integration" - It's very far from feeling native, and quicklists on a client that should be invisible most of the time is like a band-aid for gangreen. The Steam client may be better than the Desura client, but that's about the only good thing I've got to say about it.
"As for what you said about Ubuntu TV, there is no reason for Valve to concern themselves with that at all" - Ubuntu TV can install and run apps which makes it also a game console. There is no reason why Valve shouldn't aim to be the #1 source for games on every device with a native integrated kind of experience. The question is whether Ubuntu TV will ever be sold on actual devices or get popular enough to matter, but then again even if it turns out to be completely and forever vapourware the lens you develop for it will also be usable on all other devices, or you could say that Ubuntu TV support will come as a free bonus.
"Ubuntu for phones is extremely easy to develop for already and the phone app would be just like the Android app" - They'd need to port it or maybe re-write it considering that the language and SDK are different. It's easier to develop a lens.
I don't see here anyone saying it's a bad idea or that they are against it, only that they don't think Valve would bother, or wrongly think that it would come at the expense of the generic client, or misunderstanding what would need to be done to make this happen. So I'd summarize the comments so far as displaying either a valid lack of interest or opposition that is due to groundless fear.
