Because you can just plug it in to your TV and play. That's the target demographic.

I do that with my steam deck

Edit: I actually never bought a steam deck have a PC set up to be like one but you can just dock the steam deck and use it that way

Is a steam deck not a console?

I've thought about getting a dock for my Steam Deck, but honestly, I just either play on my desktop or Steam Deck, almost never on my TV. I also have a Switch for the TV, and I only really use it for party games.
