The Steam Deck's budget price tag is the reason I still rate it nearly two years on

Still a very expensive paper weight, I think I've used mine about 6 times so far.....
I'm not sure what you expected the Steam Deck to do?
Play games for him, without his input.
Yeh, I just cant figure out how to make it do that for me! :D
It does what I "expected it to do" I think it comes down to the fact that I thought I would use it more but I find it uncomfortable to use.
In general I don't get on so well with handhelds, I just hoped that this one would be the change in that, I loved the vita and used that all the time but every other handheld I've ever owned I never really used bar the aforementioned vita and the neo geo pocket colour way back when.
This sounds like a "you" problem.
Did I say it wasn't?
You called it an expensive paper weight. Insulting something that people like will often prompt them to defend it. It's perfectly fine to not like something. It's fine to point out objective flaws in it. However, don't call something bad (which is essentially what you did) just because you don't like it. That starts arguments.
To be clear, I don't want to argue here. I just want to point out an observation that has impacted how and when I state my opinion.
So sell it. They're pretty easy to sell used.
Then sell it. 🤦
