Hard disagree. Steam Deck is good because it fills a niche that no other handheld PC fulfills. You can't really nitpick when there isn't really any competitors.

The Deck isn't the most powerful, its display isn't the best, it isn't the cheapest. What people like the author seem to miss is that the Deck wasn't marketed to be the most powerful, or the best display, or the cheapest. It was designed to balance all these design considerations, such that even though it's not best at anything, it's not bad at anything either. That's really the allure of the Deck for me, that I don't really need to work around any limitations
