Valve says Steam for Linux is not currently supported on Arm hardware. We compare an AV1 bug report, Steam Frame's Proton and FEX setup, and Ubuntu's Steam Snap against primary sources to separate what runs from what is officially supported.
The fact that it’s drivers for everything instead of instruction sets for at least some things is the problem I was eluding to. I just didn’t want to go into as much detail.
Obviously it would be better if companies would treat ARM like x86 but they have a capitalistic incentive to not do so. Part of the point of switching to ARM is to prevent you from being able to do the things on future devices that you could do in the past.
