I'm not exaggerating even a little. I'd rather never play a game again than deal with handheld Windows.
Using Elden Ring as an example of a multiplayer games is a joke, right?
Luigi's Mansion, just like everything else Nintendo makes, made their money from adults. It's not a sign that somehow Sony's bigger, better library can't support a handheld. 5 years from now, a handheld PS4 would still be a better option at launch than the switch was when it did.
Elden Ring, the game continuing a long-standing legacy of player messaging, "jolly cooperation", invasions, and duels, is a multiplayer game that people play primarily online. I'd rather never use Windows again in any use case, but it's an exaggeration to say that it's not functional as a handheld, when it quite provably functions on several handhelds available today.
if you claimed 1% of the total gameplay hours are multiplayer, you'd be lying, because there's no way anyone actually believes that. It's a single player open world with a tiny bit of online flavor. Exactly zero of your three games require a subscription on PlayStation, because the free to play nonsense doesn't either.
The fact that people sell trash that doesn't work isn't evidence that it works.
