Not sure what to say other than this is obviously not for you. The Deck is more for power users, who want decent enough power to run most games (at a reasonable quality) on the go. It doesn't matter what first party games of such as in you get a PC in a form factor that's new to a lot of people. About games well there's thousands of games on PC and if we're talking 'exclusives' well Microsoft are releasing all their games on PC and Sony some of theirs. And you can also play Nintendo games on there with not much effort alongside legacy games via emulation.
About those games they are crossgen and current gen all things considered and realistically we can't expect it to run games like S.T.A.L.K.E.R 2 without some tweaking and mods. Though with game engines like UE5 being super scalable and having it run Decima games, it should be fine for the most part. It wouldn't look too pretty but I'd imagine you could also lower resolution to 720P or play in lower resolutions and use FSR/TAA U to make a demanding game playable. Though being on a 7" screen with high pixel density I doubt you'd be able to see much of a downgrade in IQ with the help of some up-scaling.
And at the end of the day its more about the prospect of playing these games on a handheld and a small PC in your hands that excites a lot of us. Granted its not for everyone, there's definitely interest in such a device.
