If we can argue that Sony will stop supporting the PS5 in the future, who's to say in the future, (without the good leadership), Steam won't restrict what can be put on the Steam Deck? We have a lot of arguments for wanting a Steam Deck and an alternative OS to boot for gaming, but saying PS5 will be bricked in the future is not a strong one.
Because the Steam Deck is just computer hardware. I can already install whatever OS I want to and Steam won't know that it's a Steam Deck anymore.
Nuclear apocalypse happens and internet is down
Beacause, Today, I can already load another OS on the Steamdeck. Not so much on the PS5.
