When the Steam Deck was still just an idea, Valve says some staff were like, "I just want that for me" and "the point wasn't even to make a product out of it" (www.gamesradar.com)

To be fair I have invested in a lot of their "niche gimmicks that will never take off". I've owned the steam link and the OG steam controller (my dad still uses that controller to game, he really likes it). I love the steam deck but none of the handhelds have the right ergonomics for my little hands except the Switch, and so I use mine docked. But even then it's a game changer not needing a huge gaming rig to play games.
