At least in my case, the Steam Deck was a great purchase and the PS5 wasn't. (I've had a PS3, Vita, and PS4 and enjoyed all of those. PS5 is very different.)
These days, I get my games on Linux and Deck and only consider exclusives on Switch (and PS5 when there is actually an exclusive).
Prices on PC are better, selection is better, the hardware is better (portable and comfortable, with lots of great inputs). Steam has lots of sales and Epic gives away freebies (I play via Heroic).
