If you really want first party games or those with heavy anti-cheat, then yes, but if you just want a handheld console with a great UX, the Steam Deck is phenomenal. The same games are also often way cheaper, plus if you want to play on PC later you can...

Steam deck has very bad battery life, especially when running aa or aaa game.

N=1, but yes, I'm happy enough with Nintendo first and second party titles.
