Are they counting Steamdecks?

Or what is the scope?

They count based on useragent info from accesses to websites using statcounter analytics.

Presumably steamdecks are heavily underrepresented in that, because I can't imagine more than a quarter of steamdeck users are even going into desktop mode, much less launching a browser

Unless they track Steam Deck specific fingerprints the OS may be classified as Arch, but either way: yes, every Steam Deck counts as a Linux system out of the box.
