They've supported the Steam Deck for a couple years now.

Here's a review of Steam Deck performance from early 2024: https://steamdeckhq.com/game-reviews/baldurs-gate-3/

I'm assuming this is just an effort to slightly improve things.

Yea, I could also blame steam's SD verification system, which just rates compatibility without giving much thought to performance. Cause I'm aware BG3 "works" on SD but walk into an area crowded with NPCs and it becomes an impressionist painting at 10fps

ProtonDB is better for gauging the performance penalty, giving different "medals" in accordance with how good/easily it runs on Linux: https://www.protondb.com/

I feel like this describe how I feel about life in general. maybe we really are living in a simulation.

My guess is that it’s not so much an effort to improve performance (there are other, easier ways to do that and it runs ok as it is) but to experiment with supporting SteamOS as platform in future.
