I'm quite worried that the quality of experiences with Linux gaming in the eyes of Joe public will go down the drain once every random crap by some Chinese factory will be seen as "a steam deck" because it runs SteamOS, just like how Samsung is dog shit and gives android a bad rep because of it's weird bloatware.

Samsungs hardware is not crap, their locked down UI might be but apple and Samsung hardware are among the best. Also fuck Samsung and Apple.

Bloatware = software. OP is not calling out their hardware. Just that Android gets a bad rep because Samsung keeps bloating their OS with useless software.

Yes I agree I wish they unlocked their bootloader
