Given many new handhelds coming on the scene and general disinterest of Microsoft to support the market, do you think SteamOS will take place of default OS the same way Android did on phones some time ago?

These are not enforced, but they are encouraged.
Rules:
I'm not sure where you're getting the idea that they'd start over. Wine isn't an emulator and doesn't emulate instructions. Something like qemu-user would presumably run Wine (which would itself be running the game).
In a way, Proton/Wine is a much harder problem because there's so much in terms of API that needs implemented.
I meant that it would be a whole another problem that I don't think they would want to address right now, considering that they're still fixing Proton. Creating an ARM translator with good enough perfomance would take several years, and I don't think they would profit as much from it, they did Proton because they don't want to depend on Windows (which in recent years has become a competitor since Microsoft is investing more in the PC gaming ecosystem).
