As someone with kids and a Switch, I think I can chime in.
It’s easy to pick up, my kids play some games on it, curiously it’s always in handheld mode, never docked.
The literal only thing that might change when I get a Steam Deck is them not being able to use touch controls. They sometimes prefer them for some games, but I think it’s worth learning to use a controller in the long run. Pretty sure we’ll have both Switch and SD for a while so I don’t think it’s much of a problem.
I’ll miss some games, but in the end I don’t really have that much nostalgia for Nintendo as I grew up with a PC and only consoles I had were a NES knock-off, and a Gameboy Color

The Steam Deck has touch controls.
