It's technically not Valve's problem in terms of responsibility, but Valve considers it a problem because their goal is functional Linux support for all games on Steam. They want to achieve that to fully decouple from any dependency on Windows whatsoever, and to have leverage in case Microsoft tries to shut them out on Win11 or a future Win12.
But yeah, still sucks that some studios refuse to support Linux on arbitrary principle.
