Remember the pre Covid times when we had mostly on site job interviews? Yeah turns out it's harder to cheat in person. Maybe companies should go back to that and pay a wage that is fair for the area they operate from.
They have been actively expanding it for many years now. Hardware is a long term strategy for Valve and they are definitely not going to step away from it anytime soon.

Unfortunately some pages have started blocking scrolling when the cookie banner is not closed properly. That can also be fixed with uBlock of course, but I encounter that specific problem quite often.
You sound a little confused here. An enterprise application server or EAS is a piece of software that can host applications, but doesn't bring any with it. EAS are complex programs that have to implement and support a multitude of specifications for the apps that are going to run on them. Many of them are already open source, and there should be very little need for new ones.
What you seem to want is some ecosystem of software that may or may not run on an EAS, which satisfies your list of high level requirements.
