I submitted this because it describes very well why I'm myself overjoyed with the Steam Deck. And on top of that it's an interesting case to bring into the ongoing discussion about walled gardens - and for instance especially Apple's resistance towards opening up. I'm in awe of how powerful and versatile the Steam Deck is. First of all most modern games, and especially indies, run perfectly well on the device. Then it can emulate almost anything with very little setup (using emudeck). Wanna play couch coop PSX games? Connect two controllers and your TV, change the controller order and that's it. It just works! There is also a bunch of streaming options available for cloud gaming and streaming from PC/PS4/5. I've been using Chiaki for PS5 remote play, and it's great. The cherry on top is that even if Steam Deck fails. It's still an awesome handheld PC that I'm sure will have a passionate community for a long time. Had it been a walled garden, it would have lost almost all of its appeal. I also own a Switch and it feels so limiting and boring in comparison.
