Because if the company (Valve) knows there are many Linux users using their software, it will use it's resources to help Linux. They make Proton, which is FOSS, and contribute a lot to Wine and Linux in general.

2nd. By doing the survey on craptops or VMs, developers just might try lowering their sysreq's down a notch. Additionally, as far as proprietary software goes Valve might be the most benevolent of them all so giving them support through the opt-in survey is a huge help as it evens out the playing field with those who play dirty and just take your info regardless.
