The money wasn’t really an issue in my case, but I will say that I’m similar to you. I do not play modern AAA games on my Steamdeck, but it’s still a great companion to modern consoles.
Streaming via Game Pass or directly from my consoles, purchasing games from Steam that haven’t been ported to consoles, emulating my owns ROMs instead of paying Nintendo a rental fee for an inferior experience, etc. It works as both a primary gaming device or a complementary one.
