The best thing about a Steam Deck is the fact that with Emudeck, you can make your deck a much better Switch. The only thing you'll be missing is lack of Internet features and the GUI.

I'm also always happy to try and convince anyone and everyone not to buy from Sintendo and buy hardware that isn't inferior because I swear Sintendo hardware has absolutely been inferior compared to the competition since at at least n64.

You can even run the Switch UI in Suyu (or other forks of Yuzu): https://youtube.com/watch?v=rOLoVZ_br9M

And both Ryujinx, as well as Yuzu (and Forks) offer local/online multiplayer:

Both of them offering online features is true, but as far as I'm aware, you ain't connecting to any official servers.

No, you can't connect to official servers. But there is some online functionality and you can play together locally or over the internet.
