Well, no. If it actually happens, Bazzite can’t exist. Valve only releases 32bit of Steam for the official client. If support for 32bit is removed from Fedora, then gamers won’t be able to use Steam on Fedora or its downstream distros.
According to that thread, when Ubuntu tried this, Valve refused to provide a 64bit version. But if they suddenly decided to, then I think the answer to your question would be obvious.
So it’s actually the whole cause of the issue? If Valve shifts to 64bit then there would be no issue? Or is there a limitation that would then prevent 32bit games from working?
Steam in a flatpak sometimes runs into permission problems. That was supposedly fixed years ago, but every so often a game pops up that doesn’t work without getting hacky. Native just doesn’t have those issues.
I use Cachy and love Cachy, but it’s fundamentally very different from Bazzite. Bazzite is an immutable distribution. Cachy is a rolling release. Those are like polar opposites.

Can’t Bazzite just permanently branch away from Fedora?
And what if Valve starts releasing 64bit version?

Obviously yes or obviously no?
Wouldn’t the Steam Flatpak still work?

Just migrate to cachy! It’s everything bazzite is but better!
