I highly doubt they have just shelved VR entirely in order to focus on Steam Deck.
Valve has openly stated that they only work on things that interest them, which is why unless there is some interesting new technology to play with (like they played with VR for Alyx), there will be no HL3.
I can totally see them chasing the shiny and dropping VR to focus on Steamdeck as the new Shiny, and then dropping Steamdeck to focus on whatever the new technological shiny is after that.
The difference here is that the steamdeck is a pretty good success. This (and its successors) will guarantee their future. They're be fools to drop it.
Hopefully I'm not being overly optimistic in agreeing. I love my Deck but am not impressed at all in the rest of the handheld market. Being stuck on Windows and not having necessary tools like the trackpads means that I'm not hopeful for the market if the Steam Deck doesn't continue.
