Just noticed this while going to redeem a gift card code, that Valve has never cared to update the ancient gift card designs featured on this page. It's an interesting look compared to the designs we have today on gift cards; updated Steam logo, updated games in the backdrop, and Linux's exemption from the supported platforms in more recent designs.
Makes for an interesting look back towards the games of this era, all of which still being available for purchase to my knowledge. If not in their original form, then in a remastered edition. Game that stood out to me most was Super Street Fighter IV, which is no longer available, being replaced with Ultra Street Fighter IV, obviously just a more complete version of the game. I know Steam has a variety of pages which have effectively been neglected over the years and show their age, but this is a part which I'd happily prefer to stick around IMO.

If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it?
On the ‘new’ card they dropped Linux but kept SteamOS, because that IS Linux, so it was redundant to keep both on there.
Edit side note on your post title. SteamOS came out in 2015 with the original Steam Machines, so I think your ~2013 is a bit off.
I always wondered it why they never changed it
