What? No there isn't and they don't use Google's cloud.
In game mode if you navigate to library then to non-steam, if your list is empty it will prompt you to install Chrome. Maybe it was somewhere else, but yes, the prompt exists regardless.
Edit: Picure I got from the Interner to illustrate my comment:
Edit 2: More proof that it never happened and either I'm imagining things or making it up:
Never had any prompt for google services in 2+ years of owning a sd, i don't know why you're so affirmative about something you don't actually seem to be sure about
Because I also got this prompt the first time I used my Steam Deck, but I wasn't sure where I got it.
You'll get it once when you access Non-Steam library for thw first time. If you refuse it you'll never see it again
That's what I thought, I installed CachyOS on my Legion Go last week and I'd swear it appeared there too.
