I would agree with what you are saying if it wasn't for the fact that there are compatibility issues with SteamOS. Even some verified games single player experiences that seems to have issues such as Horizon Zero Dawn crashing/stuttering every 30 minutes after 5+ hours. Some games may never even work on SteamOS since they have anti-cheat or DRM.

Now eventually, I am hopeful that it will get to the point where majority if not all games on Steam will be properly verified to the point where they will all work flawlessly. But until then, Valve should have given us early adopters a good Windows experience so that as we wait until Valve works their way through 60,000+ games, we could play the games that are having issues on the SteamOS on Windows.

Well, my Windows laptop also has compatibality and/or performance issues with a lot of games.

Even many games where my laptop exceeds not only the minimum specs but also the recommended specs have issues like crashes or stuttering. Some games may never work on that device even if I'd bother tinkering with it.

But since neither my laptop nor my Steam Deck are replacing my desktop PC, I don't care if they not play every of my PC games flawlessly. I enjoy the other games which already play flawlessly on them (already hundred... probably thousand of them) and play the problematic ones on my desktop PC.

That is a good point
