The OS makes the steam deck better than any other handheld

Agreed, but with the addition of "for me" at the end there. What makes it better for you and me is going to be a drawback for someone who only plays, say, Destiny 2, Fortnite, or things that are on Game Pass Ultimate.

Yeah, that theoretical person is going to have an absolute garbage time navigating the OS itself, but that's what they have to put up with to be able to play the games they want on a handheld PC. They might very well find that trade-off worthwhile, and it's not for us to tell them they're wrong.

Thats what remote play is for. If you wanna play those games seriously then maybe just keep using your computer.
