Porting games to run on ARM is apparently a pain so a lot of devs aren't doing it. Instead they just use some kind of translation program so that ARM can understand x86 instructions rather than recoding the game to support it directly. Resulting in inferior performance but at least it does sort of work which is better than it was before.

I would not be surprised at all if Steam did something very similar.
