Only read the title (as is tradition) but this is how I feel too. Main reason is that the device is not locked down at all. Having high end hardware like PS5 only for it to be so locked down that there is no way to use it as a Jellyfin client (for example) feels like ass. With no lock down, Steam as a platform adds value to the Deck with their work on proton and dxvk etc. rather than just hold a gun to your head and demand money. I don't even play games through it most of the time. I rather use Lutris because I can wrap my head around it easier. But being able to do it on a console you paid money for feels nice.
