there is one huge difference with storage space between the switch and this thing that many people are forgetting.
To some users, mostly thouse who go phisical, you don't really need that much memory unless the devs force it, an the switch. Ergo to quite a large portion of the audience, ay extra space they put in is effectivly wasted money.
steam deck not only does not have this option but its games are bulkier, sometimes by 2, 3, or 4 times in size on PC.

a 500 GB card is near endless on the switch, how much does 500GB get you on your gaming laptop?

Enough to be honest. PS5 and Xbox Series X haven't got the best memory solutions right now (PS5 literally does not have one lol) but that doesn't stop them selling out. The Steamdeck memory issue isn't ideal but its also not a deal breaker. 

I also don't think people are going to try and put their whole steam library on the system at the same time, like no one plays that many games simultaniously snd they''ll obviously be more selective with Steamdeck in terms what games they want to play portably.
