They could have easily crammed the Steam Deck full of stuff to make it hard to use for piracy - locking down everything, making it usable only to play games you legitimately own, force you to go through who knows what hoops in order to play games on it. That’s what Nintendo or Apple or most other companies do....
I’m going to get downvoted to hell for half but as a long time Spotify user, I switched to YouTube music last year because of the recommendations. I guess it depends on what it listen to, but I found that Spotify if I listened to one thing for a while and then wanted to go back to what I was listening to a couple months ago, all my recommendations were the new thing, like they decided I just didn’t like the old thing anymore 🙁

I feel like the Steam Deck is the best proof of Gabe Newell's quote that "piracy is a service issue."
