These are not enforced, but they are encouraged.
Rules:
I doubt even Microsoft are stupid enough to think they could release a PC-based gaming handheld without Steam support and not fail spectacularly.
If it's Xbox branded they could probably get away with it.
but xbox games could run o it?, pc games runs on steam deck because you can lower the graphics, they can make the same for xbox games?
They use the xbox brand for microsoft store pc games too, and it's probably those + gamepass that it would run. Those should let you lower the graphics.
Also if the device is successful, it might actually get more devs to release their games on the Microsoft store instead of just on Steam, which would be a win-win for Microsoft.
I saw a video on the extent they went to locking down the Xbox, I think they would do the same for the handheld.
Every console they release is so locked down you can't even install their own os on it, I think you're wrong.
