I have some of the same concerns with the Frame. It is a stabdalone headset, but also just runs Steam games; it's not its own ecosystem like a Quest which has different versions for the headset vs what you stream from PC. But I haven't seen much hands-on stuff other than a physical hardware breakdown; never anything running on it.
Like, how well would it run Half-Life Alyx vs how well it might run something like Gorn? How is it gonna handle informing users what games would actually run well in standalone vs PCVR streaming?
They are expanding their "steam deck verified" system to cover the Steam Machine and Steam Frame. I have to assume that they will attempt to make that distinction, because I agree, there should be a Steam Frame Platinum (for streaming) and Steam Frame Silver (for on device) or something.
I do hope they take this into account.
