Yeah I can imagine this being super nice to have even just lying around at home to connect to as a remote development environment or better: Plug it into the TV like a switch and have a powerful PC that fits behind the TV. At least for me it's super convenient since I wanted to play old games on emulator anyways (but not on a underspecces raspberry)

Speaking of: I wonder if it'll work with a Switch dock? Probably would require some physical modification of the dock itself, but it'd still be neat if they're interchangeable and I can stick either one into any dock.
I wouldn't bet on the Switch dock working with any non-Switch hardware since Nintendo didn't really care about following USB specification there, but you can easily get a third-party USB-C hub that works with Switch and which should work with Deck too (and also other stuff such as laptops or phones like Librem 5 as well).
