Why doesn't valav discount their 30% fee for game developers so they bring their games to the steam deck?

I don’t know what you mean by ‘bring your game to the deck’. How is it any different from listing it on Steam? Anyway to answer the question I think it’s because they actually have a decent platform that’s worth the cost for most developers. If you start conditionally lowering prices you also create an extra incentive for people to hold off putting their games on steam in the hope of getting a special deal.

I edited my post to explain that. SteamOS on the SteamOS deck is Linux, and many games developers refuse to bring their games to Linux because of “cheating” and the “small user base”. Why do you think protondb exists?
