After twenty years on Steam, I've been asked three times to participate in the survey on my gaming setup, and on three occasions I played on Windows. No survey in the last five years while using Linux. :)
I've got it twice on my work laptop, where I used it just for the messenger, back when I ran an active community for a game.
Not sure if I want to trust that data.

It might be bugged now. I was able to do it a few months ago. Maybe I did happen to do it at the time of the hardware survey? 🤔

Really, It feels like I get it every 4 or 5 months
Same. I got it for the first time on my Steam Deck a couple months ago, and have gotten it like 4-5 times on my Linux desktop over the last 2-3 years and 1-2 times on my work laptop (MacBook).
The one time I got it on Windows I refused, because I never play games on Windows and just booted Steam to check something.
I got a notification each year and I'm on Linux
