I agree this device may not be worth it, but as I said other arm devices with the same capability and different form factors cost anywhere from $200-800 and have their own pros and cons.
Okay, I should have said similar, but you seem to just not want to acknowledge that there is a space/demand for these kinds of products.
Show me a non arm $200 range product that can run games like mewgenics, deadcells, megabonk, etc. The closest I can think of is a Nintendo switch, but that has a more limited (and expensive) library and will start losing support as the more expensive switch 2 takes over.
Why would you use an ARM/Android device to emulate x86/>Linux instead of the opposite?
My responses were answering your initial question.
If you’re asking, why buy this specific $600 device, then I agree with you, it seems inferior to a steam deck by most metrics (compatability and performance being the biggest issues).

A $200 device does not have the same capabilities.

I have no doubt that there’s demand for all kinds of stupid shit. The question is if it’s stupid, which this appears to be to me.
There aren’t any $200 x86 handheld devices that I’m aware of, but that’s not what we’re discussing. This is a $600 device.
