It's not cheaper if the manufacturing capacity literally doesn't exist. You can't just wave a magic wand and have a company be capable of making millions of units.
Edit: It took several months after launch to clear the backlog and allow people to just order a Steam Deck, and it got occasionally backordered for several more months in some markets after that. Adding the constraint of being supply limited on joysticks would have almost definitely made that worse.
Dude, no need to be a dick about it. You made your point, the dunk undermines it.
