MODERATORS
The article explicitly mentions their target audience, which is ordinary/casual gamers who would not want or expect a desktop mode on their console. They're basically targeting the console crowd. It's not the same audience as steam deck.
I get that, but I'm wondering why people looking for that wouldn't just get a Switch? Even the Steam deck can be used as a "console" if you just own Steam games.
They're trying to complete with two companies that have huge amounts of resources whilst also not bringing much new value to the table.
