Easy thing to say when you’re not the one donating your time for free.
I love what Valve is doing for Linux, but longer term, the onus is on them to solve the 32-bit compatibility layer issue (a-la Proton for win-to-linux, as well as their upcoming x86-to-ARM layer).
Expecting all distros (who again, are staffed mostly by volunteers) to do this work separately (i.e. duplicating all that work), for all time, is a big ask.
Isn’t the context of that quote around the kernel and kernel space vs user space? I don’t see how that thought really extends to distros that simply implement the kernel as one of their packages.
Don’t break userspace. 32-bit support should never be removed.

Userspace is allowed to break themselves
That’s a kernel saying. A bit unfitting to repeat it for the distro that builds said userspace.
