How could they possibly distribute a device that was end-user ready with any less control?
They went out of their way to make the Deck user-repairable and partnered with iFixIt to make replacement parts and documentation easily available. They built in a simple way to switch to the Arch desktop so the user could easily access non-Steam applications or take control of the OS if desired. I don’t see how the device could be more open to end-user control and still ready-to-use out of the box.
