Bricked as in it's actual meaning of "it's fundamentally broken and can only be replaced"? Or bricked in the incorrect sense that it works slightly less good?

They installed the BETA branch of steam os and are expecting a flawless experience.

They are complaining about a bug causing the deck to boot loop on verifying install. This can be fixed by simply plugging in an ethernet cord Or reinstalling steam os stable.

Happened in the prod release too, but carry on.

Has no bearing on my point. If you can fix it, it wasn't "bricked" in any sense.
