I have a steam deck an I love it, but I don’t think using it as a laptop is a good idea. Unlocking a steam deck doesn’t need a password (by default), just like Switch, GameBoy or PS Portable. If steam deck is lost, sensitive personal data can be accessed easily. Besides, I’d expect a higher risk of losing a steam deck, as I’d been playing it on various places like metro or train stations.
If you never take your steam deck out of your home, then it sounds sensible to use SD as a laptop

I figure if you’re the type to use it for sensitive info, you’re also the type to put a password on it.
Windows also doesn’t require a password on account so how’s that any better than steam deck?
