I mean, Nobara is definitely steady or losing some of its share but Bazzite has only ever continued to gain, even if a bit slower now. As far as if it has benefits over SteamOS, well the Steam Deck is the largest percentage of Bazzite users by far, so it's clearly offering something that Valve isn't. I'd say that it's a lot simpler OOTB to set up other store's games with Lutris included.
Isn't Cachy not immutable? Also the graph from this article seems to show Cachy was released first. Bazzite pawbably does have better marketing though but eh? It's not like they're selling anything, it's all still FOSS, so I don't see that as a big negative as long as it does what it says on the tin.
