Is each Steam Deck counted as a desktop Linux machine whether or not it is ever used as one?

The count is from web visits somehow, so I don't think so. You'd have to visit a web site that was contributing data for it to count.

So every steam deck that visits the websites that track this counts? It's probably not many, but it's certainly likely there are a few counted.

I think so, yes.

This website collects OS through the browser on website visits. But unless you're browsing the web on Steam Deck on a regular basis, they'll never register it.
