There are lots of high end android games that this would make available, and we could also benefit from apps like Netflix/etc.
On Bazzite I believe people use Firefox installed as Android app, so they can simply switch to it for game guides etc, while playing a game, in GameScope/Big Screen/GameMode™
I'm too lazy to test, because I just run it as my daily driver on my Desktop.
But you can do the same with a normal desktop Firefox, none of those things prevent you from switching windows to check things. There must be some other reason why it's run as an Android app.
The android app has native touch support
so does the linux version if you enable the environment variable
Simple to do but not very known by people
