Valve famously has a flat management structure, meaning valve employees don't have traditional bosses. The employees are generally self directed, choosing what projects they want to work on.

So something like this would be a Valve dev deciding the best use of his time for the day was to add SDL support for the Steam Controller. He did the work, didn't have to request approval for the project, and Valve paid him to do it.

It may not be something that there was any organized, official push by valve to do. But their management structure encourages this kind of thing and pays for it.

This only reinforces my opinion that the one dev deserves credit, not all of Valve.
