PC as a whole isn't just for enthusiasts, it's a very broad base covering everything from those who play the latest AAA games at max settings to folks who just play Stardew Valley on their old laptop. 

When it comes to gaming on the go though, most folks will just use the phone they already have or buy a Switch as its just more convenient and accessible.

Most pc players  on steam  have hardware more powerful then a ps5. My main point is for me anyway that the Steam Deck has all the AAA games on a handheld and can't even do wiiu numbers lol, that shows more then anything the market just doesn't care for AAA games on handheld they care about Nintendo games on handheld.

Can you provide a source for most steam users having hardware better than PS5? Not saying you're wrong, I just hadn't heard that. Regardless, gaming on PC doesn't necessarily make someone an enthusiast; there are plenty of casual players too. Some of the most popular PC games at the moment are stuff like Minecraft, Fortnite, Roblox, The Sims, etc.

Steam Deck is too expensive and has too many barriers to entry to achieve mainstream success, but it has its niche. AAA ports to Switch like Witcher 3, Skyrim, and Hogwarts Legacy have sold decently.

Phone gamers it seems couldn't care less.
