If Valve really wanted to make a splash, they could release a desktop version of SteamOS in October, right when support for Windows 10 ends. For additional damage, they could bundle in Half-Life 3. Just imagine the coverage this would get.

What do people expect out of a desktop SteamOS that they can't already get from any other distro?

It needs to be at least as easy as Windows to install and have good support.

Extra bonus points if they preinstall/bundle it on gaming PCs.

Both of these are possible with many other distros.
