Can someone give me a rundown on why the projects being funded are significant?

It allows programmers to be paid to work full time instead of just for free in their spare time.

I probably could have phrased that better. Why are the projects that are being funded significant? Apologies.

I believe they're providing cloud compute infrastructure to compile packages that they probably use in their steam decks... But that's half-guessing after having the same question popping up in my head..
