I think realistically the most important thing is how big your steam library is. In general, I've hated handhelds. The DS was great but the screen was too small and I've never been motivated to use it to try new experiences but I've never had that issue with the steam deck. I think it's due to (a) the library size (b) the first attempt at an all digital console (c) the ease of emulating my physical retro library to quickly jump on my impulses to play them.
I really had every reason to hate this since it was an impulse FOMO purchase which I could afford but probably should not have.
