Are PC handhelds like Steam Deck really competitors for Switch 2?

Yeah, you and @ampersandrew@lemmy.world have a point.
I am vastly oversimplifying a lot, but... Perhaps mobile gaming, on aggregate, is too shitty for its own good? It really looks that way whenever I sample the popular ones.
I suspect it's more that the time people can and do spend playing phone games has just about zero overlap with PC games. You play phone games while on the bus or on the toilet, you play PC games while at home behind your desk.
Some people spend a lot of time, money in mobile games.
Occam's Razor. I think it's just the "default device" and placed in front of their eyes, so it's what most people choose?
Really wild to go from this vibe at the end of the seventh generation of consoles to the one we're at now. For me, and many other people that like high quality gaming experiences, mobile games have completely vanished.
