"Why game in a substandard way..." There is the crux of the issue. To you, gaming can only be enjoyed at 4K 160+ FPS, Ultra detail, HDR, Ray traced blah blah blah. You can't fathom that there are people that value gaming for reasons other than getting ultra high framerates and 4K textures.
Not to mention all the folks who play games that don't gain anything from super high frames or 4K graphics, like retro gamers, people who enjoy old school RPGs, turn-based strat games, sandbox/city buikders, pixel games, or hell, just people who don't give a damn about any of that and value things like comfort and portability over raw performance.
Sometimes I want to chill on my couch in a blanket with my cats snuggled on my legs in front of my fireplace, sipping hot chocolate or tea while playing a turn-based strat game with my best friend. The Steam Deck allows me to do that.
Not everything has to be a sweaty HaRdC0rE G4mEr B0I experience 24/7. I have a super high-end custom gaming PC and play comp FPS/RTS. I also love playing on my Steam Deck casually at home, or when I'm out on the go and want to play some games.
Nobody has an issue with you only being interested in an ultra-hardcore gaming experience. Just don't act like people who aren't interested in that are idiots or sad wanna-be gamers. That's the coolest thing about gaming, there's something for everybody.
