FEX has been an Open Source project for quite some time. Valve has a use-case for it, so has been contributing developer resources and funding for the project, but Valve themselves did not create it. It’s simply a useful tool in a pivot they want to make for their portable gaming devices and expansion.

Valve actually initiated FEX and has been funding it since the very beginning, there was an interview with the Verge where they talk about it.
Basically the whole thing is Valve’s baby, they have a lot of different open source projects that they are quietly funding.
