I don't think people understand that Valve also is going to own this space because of all the work they've done on Linux, them not being a trash company to their users (though, THAT bar is low).
So this is going to be very much a "Raspberry Pi" type of situation where - yeah, you can buy better SBC's than a Raspberry Pi; but everyone buys the Pi because it's got a lot of developer backing and an amazing ecosystem.
This is what always springs to mind to me.
Valve has a vested interest in keeping the Steam Deck 1 up-to-date even after they eventually release the 2.
Can we say the same about ASUS? And what about the smaller OEMs? Aya Neo has 14 handhelds out for gods' sake
