I don't know about their decision making these days, but Marcin Iwiński said in the past they'd be interested in making Linux games if Valve produces some successful Linux console. Their first attempt with Steam Machines didn't go anywhere as a product really, but at the same time they didn't stop investing into Linux gaming technologies - you literally can play CP2077 on Linux already with adequate performance because of their investments which is great, but it's basically done without CDPR getting involved even.
So I guess we'll have to wait and see if what Marcin said will apply to Steam Deck this time around. If it will succeed as a product, then it shouldn't be worse than Stadia I suppose for CDPR to be interested in making the native versions. I.e. it will have your marketing and market penetration possibly. Arguably, Stadia isn't even that good at that today.
The benefit is better performance in comparison to how it can be done now (i.e. Wine + vkd3d-proton translation from DX12 to Vulkan and etc.).
I'm also interested in where they are taking their future games. Mechanics in CP2077 are indeed good but some things can be built on, like even discussed above (like more advanced transport system, self driving cars and etc.).
And interesting idea about future Witcher games. Making custom characters there can be cool too.
I'm also not against CDPR getting into more settings. We still didn't see a decent Vampire: The Masquerade game in the recent times (Bloodlines 2 basically flopped?). Let CDPR partner with Paradox / White Wolf for a new masterpiece.
