Valve appear to have some pretty ambitious future plans for Steam, as we've seen recently in a leak (and not for the first time) that Valve has plans for ARM64 and Android support on Linux.
Been waiting for them to get into mobile gaming. Hopefully they’ll force their mobile storefront to be less predatory. Maybe they’ve been waiting for when they could get a mobile/android game sold on their store to be playable on every other device, like how you expect with your purchases right now.
x86 emulation on ARM is likely foremost about expanding Chromebook support as currently only x86 Chromebooks can use Steam. Android emulation is probably about getting Oculus/Quest games on the in-development stand-alone VR headset.

Nothing points to Steam games on mobile phones.
