Digital Foundry guys speculate that something like Windows-derived Xbox OS for certified pre-built PCs and vanilla Xbox could be the answer to this. Microsoft must see that Steam Deck and inevitable diversification from x86 is going to threaten their hegemony but are definitely preparing for this.
Microsoft saying that Xbox games are going to be taken care of when time comes is a solid strategy. They have the best track record on ensuring backwards compatibility. At the same time Valve seems to be woefully unprepared for ARM switch and has proven that they're going to leave their customers dry when they lose interest - just look at the state of Steam on Macs.
