Steam Deck is not limited to handheld, you can hook it up to a desk setup with USB -C. Also, I used to play CSGO handheld. I'm in the low silvers even on PC and it doesn't make a big difference to me skill wise. You can be really precise with trackpad + gyroscope.

You might have enough time to aim with a trackpad in silver, thats definetly not the case in higher ranks.

Dang it's a good thing people don't play games for fun otherwise you might actually have a point, doofus

You can plug a mouse into a steam deck, dork.

Gyro is easily comparable to using a mouse

Not according to literally every test ever done on it. It always falls behind far enough to not be viable competitively

I think you live in an alternate universe and also have never tried it

Ive owned a steam controller for several years and regularly use gyro aim in many games that aren't competitive.

But again, it's still behind a traditional mouse as far as accuracy. There are tons of videos on this, even aim training software has data about this.

I just want to play on my skill level, and not 5 ranks below.

It doesnt have anything to do with me tryharding, it just isnt fun when its the hardware that loses the game and not me.
