One of the appealing things about the Steam Deck is its repairability. Valve even made the analog sticks modular, published a teardown video, and partnered with iFixit to make replacement parts available, IIRC.
It would be hard to convince me that a device that doesn't beat the Deck in this area is "today's best". It's important.
The ROG ally is extremely easy to repair and replace parts.
As someone who owns neither but is impressed by this new boom in handhelds, I'm just happy that there are multiple options that are repairable and modular.
Me too, I came from a switch, I really enjoyed it but the move for me was for the bigger variety of games and the are more specials on steam, gog etc compared to Nintendo. But bear in mind that not all games are handheld friendly.
