The SteamDeck is really shit for Switch games. Personally, I don't see what niche the SteamDeck wants/needs to fill, and Valve has tried its hand at hardware before, showing that they're not as attuned to the market as one might think. Then again; I find the Switch to be the least attractive current console, primarily due to its software pricing, which is the same issue every generation.
For what it offers and the niche it fills, I would still side with the Switch in this, despite owning only 6 games for it to this day. For me, the SteamDeck falls into the same category as tablets. Between smartphones, laptops, desktop computers, home consoles, and various handhelds, I have zero use for it and zero interest. Mind you, I never had a mind towards playing on the go and prefer to do my gaming at home, so I might not at all be the intended demographic (also; I'm old and bitter and you best not listen to me).
