I have a Steam Deck definitely felt no need to get either the Switch 1 or 2.

I dunno what y'all are talking about, the Deck chip (Van Gogh, 7nm, Zen 2 but with Rembrandt-era SoC features, RDNA2) is "newer" than the Ampere chip (circa 2020) in the Switch 2.
I think the last Nintendo game I payed for was animal crossing new horizons. Yea, I'll be alright with my back catalog and the occasional indie game that costs less than 20$. All I wanted was another punch-out but I played the "Big Boy Boxing" demo and it was pretty fun, so I will not be buying a switch 2 any time soon if at all.
Also missing out "paying for the internet twice"
I would just like to remind everyone that Nintendo was predatory when EA and Activision were the good(ish) guys.
Dont at me.
Eh, with the prices you could upgrade from steam deck to better specs, maybe switch will have better battery
