Handheld PC makers are slowly losing touch with Valve's successful Steam Deck template of affordability, and that's very concerning (www.techradar.com)

There are several competitors that are more powerful, like the ROG Ally. They also need a bigger battery to support it, or they have worse battery life. And they're more expensive.

Clear text and UI is an issue because games don't scale their shit properly.

Those came after, Valve hasn’t a time machine (as far as I know)

You’re right about games not scaling shit properly, but that’s 99% of the time in gen 8 (console-first) games, where those games where designed solely for big screens with HD+ resolutions. Modern games have already started figuring out scaling for different resolutions and aspect ratios
