More likely the opposite because they don't want to deal with Windows 11

For me it came down to affordability more than anything else. The cost of the other PC handhelds don't make sense to me considering the battery life. Might as well get a laptop at that point. The fact that the Steam Deck doesn't use Windows and has the best community support were bonuses.
