Perhaps, but the number of people who own a Steam Deck is so small that it most likely is not worth it financially for Epic to do the work. Its not like they can just click one button and it solves all their problems, the most likely problem is anti-cheat. Even if they did, they would need to at least guarantee sales that would pass their cost of business, and for Steam Deck users that seems highly unlikely.
