Does anyone know why SteamOS is based on arch rather than Debian?

Just got a steam deck and immediately checked out the desktop mode, and I was somewhat surprised to see KDE and pacman as opposed to GNOME and apt, I have nothing against the former though a strong preference for the latter, anyone know why Volvo went in this direction?

If we divided Gnome right out of the open source community, we wouldn't have lost much.
