Steam Deck looks awful

I said likely. So I guess you're one of the unlucky few with strangely small pockets. 

The Switch just isn't that much bigger than other portables, when you consider the fact that Joycons can be removed. Without Joycons (which can be put in another pocket) it's almost the same size as a 3DS XL (slightly longer but thinner and lighter), and not much bigger than phones that people carry with them everywhere. If you really want to carry the Switch in your pockets, I think you can do it. I believe in you! You just have to find the courage to believe in yourself!

As for the SP, yes duh. Yes, it's easier to fit in your pocket. Much easier. That's an advantage of the SP. And the Switch is infinitely more easy to fit in your pocket than a Steam Deck, because the Steam Deck is not fitting in any normal sized pocket. And it is not unreasonable for people to figure that with a product that is using a handheld form factor, the fact that it is not very portable is a huge disadvantage.

I've honestly yet to spot anyone out in the wild with a Switch crammed into their black hole/hammer space-style trousers, and also sitting down with it in their pockets.

The vast majority I've seen online have their personal carry cases, either style-based or official from Nintendo, and not crammed into their trousers.

Why should I have to remove joycons to then fit it in my pocket, and then take up another pocket space to fit the joycons on?, this is just making excuses for the fact that not everyone is gonna cram the thing into their pockets all the time, this is exactly why the carry cases and bags exist for them.

Yuri had a good point about not wanting to stuff it into his pocket and that was the joysticks and causing more stick drift, and we know Nintendo is hella guilty with their joycon drift, so that's just another reason not to stick it in my pocket, let alone the joycons into another. 

The Deck has it's own carry case just like the Switch, which I know most folks will be using, otherwise neither would be making any sorts of carry cases in the first place, if they knew 99% of the world was just stuffing them into their pockets all the time. 

Never underestimate the desire of a business to sell you a carry case.
