It's a personal computer. Being in a different form factor does not change that.

I mean, I agree that the form factor isn't what matters, that's not what I was saying. When you boot the Steam Deck it actively hides that it is a computer. Let's be real here, all consoles are basically just dumbed down PC's at this point. They have slightly modified AMD chips with AMD GPUs. The only difference is that you can't access the file system. You can on the Steam Deck if you want to, but Valve tries to simplify the experience by presenting it as a console. My argument has nothing to do with the form factor and everything to do with the default presentation.

But you literally just hold a button and boot into desktop mode
