That could have a lot of benefits both for Valve and the gaming industry to and extent. It's a bit sad that 20 years ago John Carmack basically attempted the same thing with using his tremendous influence to push OpenGL onto Windows platform. Technically, he succeeded, and by now we should be able to have OpenGL-based games which are competitive with DirectX, and easy to port to Linux. But it appears that driver manufacturers have been slacking off, and Windows OpenGL support is not suitable for anything serious.
