I wonder if this is because of steamOS switching to Arch, and they have a wider target now.

Steam OS is immutable and does not enable AUR use by default.

Unless you're a power user you probably won't be using AUR on Steam OS.

Another thing is perhaps GenZ does not grok PC security. Security-wise, a Linux PC is very different from an iPhone, because everything shares the home folder.
