But like, you’re on that hill surrounded by no combatants? Nobody, myself included, is arguing that the Steam Deck isn’t a good system, or even better than the Switch.
The Steam Deck being good doesn’t make the Switch bad? This isn’t a binary in any conceivable way.

I still think you’re looking at a substantial library until you end up even breaking even here. And to your previous point, first party games are an enormous part of the value and appeal, so you can’t really fairly just dismiss them wholesale. That’s kind of like saying a car is just a big block of plastic and metal if not for the engine

I think the evaluation comes back much better when you take the radical price difference into account. Like yes, the Steam Deck is much better, but it is also multiple times more expensive than a Switch, so it should vastly outperform it

Valid take. But as hardware, Switch is a very solid console, even if I agree as a company Nintendo is extremely scummy.

I think the Switch is genuinely pretty amazing

But why isn’t it a toggle that turns these features on instead?
It’s bullshit that we’re expected to constantly opt-OUT of these features that we supposed want. If we wanted them, we would turn them on.

That feels an even sillier concern; what is a child going to do on a gambling site without some adult payment method to access services? And if you say “well they can steal their parent’s credit card,” how would that not equally apply to a parent’s photo ID or anything else necessary for age-verification?

Why do we need to? What’s the risk, some unsupervised kid with neglectful parents might see porn? Oh man, just imagine the world-ending consequences if that happened!

Not even remotely what I suggested.

“People are going to murder anyway, so why even make murder illegal?”
You are correct, you should make rules even understanding that they will be broken by some.
And for all the reasons stated, I disagree, and I do not believe you have made a compelling argument for your case. You have argued why the Steam Deck is better while blatantly ignoring crucial differences as if they should be compared as like. And beyond the comparison you have made no valid arguments against the Switch.
So yes, the Steak Deck is a great console, we both agree on that since that seems to be the only statement you’re actually making here.
Maybe this will help:
It’s like you said there hasn’t been any good music since the 80s, and I said Turnstile is a great band actually, and you replied with “Led Zeppelin is better.”
Maybe they are! But that says nothing about whether Turnstile is or is not good.
