To add to this: Apple, like Disney, is generally pretty good at user experience (and, in my opinion, something they've both been faltering on as of late, just look at Genie+). I got a Steam Deck a few weeks ago, and while it's a very good device, there are some software shortcomings that other mobile devices don't have (eg: the device pauses downloads and updates in sleep mode, even when it's plugged in, while my iPhone does a pretty good job of waiting until the middle of the night when the device is on mains power to run app updates and download OS updates). UX is one of those things that's not easily quantifiable or can be objectively described like a feature checklist, so it tends to get overlooked.

I mean, come on. Deck is in beta version, how can you ever compare it to a decades old OS.
