Or is it just one of Adam's balls in my throat?
Batter life is my number one criteria.
A handheld should be able to play a reasonable session before you need to recharge. The battery life of the current Windows handhelds on the market is just farcical.

steamdeck is roughly a quarter of what switch2 is capable of, ofc its weak af when switch2 ports look nasty af compared to what those games look on modern pc.We all already know about the Switch and Switch 2, but what about the Steam Deck?

I really enjoy the Portal for what it is.
But the only thing I want out of this is the ability to play games locallty and offline.

In pure CPU benchmarks the Deck is a little faster than the Switch 2.
The Switch 2 has the GPU performance of a PS4 Pro versus the Deck's base PS4 comparison. The big thing is the Switch 2 is NVIDIA's Ampere which is the RTX 3000 series. It has raytracing hardware and can do DLSS. IMO it really shows the difference between AMD and NVIDIA's offerings. DLSS just performs crazy voodoo compared to raw raster rendering. The Deck can look good with the FSR4 hacks, but has a higher performance hit.

Everything looks like a Switch. Sony has the opportunity to offer something different. We'll see if they do.

Im perfectly aware what hardware switch2 has, its above ps4pr0/xbox one x simply coz of modern feature set even tho its gpu is weaker even from ps4pr0 in raw raster, just compare how cp2077 looks/plays on them and u can figure that shit out.
There was no sons of liberty expack on last gen consoles coz it would run extremly terribly, there is on switch2 tho(it runs visibly worse than base game).
And steamdeck? That old shit is weaker even from base ps4, so ofc its way weaker from switch2.
As we all could see even 4 months ago, switch2 is clear winner compared to steamdeck, at least in docked mode

I'm not sure what you're trying to argue. You originally said the Deck couldn't run a bunch of games, and I provided videos showing that most ran just fine.
I then said the Deck had a more powerful CPU than the Switch 2, but slower GPU. In that video Richard mentioned the Deck's CPU should have given it an advantage over the Switch, but we weren't seeing it in that game.
So a custom version of a game runs better than a handheld PC that was 4.5 years old when the newer hardware released. Running in a dock mode 1080p it wasn't designed for. Running a Windows game through a translation layer. From the video you linked, lower the game to 720p, and it's very stable 30 fps.
My original argument was the Deck is already running all of the PS5 games brought over to the PC. So a PS6 console that's using 3-4 generations of newer technology. Shouldn't have any issues running any PS5 game. Do you disagree with that?

My argument is- fuck portables, its already bad enough ninny gimped their hardware from the times of wii back in 2006(it was stationary but had like 14W tdp, so might have as well be portable in terms of graphical fidelity), we dont want last bastion of consoles aka sony to screw themselfs with that too.

Why can't we have options? Bruh, if you have a family with young kids especially portables are a difference between gaming and not gaming at all.
