Small as in not a lot of competitors...

Its no different to the console market. Essentially a duopoly

Ok and? What's your point?

I'm just saying there's not much competition in the handheld space. Either you have massively popular products with an extensive history or extremely niche devices. The handheld PC market is still fairly nascent and Steam Deck dominating it and popularizing it so much (even if it's not that much compared to, say, the Switch) is still significant.
