If all they want a computer for is Steam, they’re going to get a better experience on Wayland.

That's different than outright suggesting Arch.

But SteamOS is Arch? So why not suggest CachyOS, which is in a similar space?

No, it's an immutable OS based on Arch. Also not rolling release.

So why not suggest CachyOS, which is in a similar space?

You were also suggesting regular Arch and that's irresponsible.
