What is the point of getting other retro handhelds when you already own a Steam Deck?
>>

Portability.

I gift the really cheap ones to people I don't like in hope it'll burn their houses down

Steam decks are garbage.

I'd rather use my smartphone to play games.

I have a Trimui Brick for pocket RPG's, my deck for everything else

There is no point in owning either type of device because you can just play video games on your PC and when you're outside the house you can just enjoy touching grass or just listen to shit on your phone.

Based. Handhelds are shit.

You don't know what you're talking about, dumbass
There's many types of handhelds at varying prices and sizes
Something like miyoo mini flip costs less than 100 bucks and can fit in your pocket, making it the perfect device to play some GBA and even PS1 games

Not every handheld is trying to be like Steam deck

Steam Deck works better as a portable box and Valve knows that and that's why they put R/D into Steam Machine. That you can pick it up and play it without any further geegaw is kind of a perk more than a selling point.

Obviously emulator handhelds are meant to go in your fucking pocket and not need a dedicated case for transportation.

Portability and form factor.

There is no point to retro handhelds at all, they're ewaste.
The only thing keeping lap devices from being optimal portable devices is the fact that lap screens are sub-optimal, but this is solved by portable screens and VR.
