You answered your own question: it’s for people who only have a deck for gaming. And the comparison to doom on a fridge doesn’t really hold, as the steam deck is designed for gaming.
I’ll never understand these articles… Like, sure, that’s cool? Kind of like saying you can run Doom on a fridge.
I’m not going to play Doom on the fridge tho, and I’m not playing Portal RTX on my Steam Deck.

Also Portal RTX changed some textures (like the portals) for some reason, I’d rather play the original instead.

Fair enough, I’ll just recommend them to go play the original at 60 fps and native resolution :P
Do you think it has to be about you? It’s not about you.
I’M gonna play Doom on your fridge.

It’s all I have these days.
Well, and my switch.
People whose only gaming device is a deck, not people that have a deck only for gaming :'D I’d use my computer instead for intensive graphics.
The Steam Deck does have RT Cores, might as well use them for something lol
