A lot of older PC games can run just fine on modern phone hardware. I’d buy a SteamOS version of a phone that has some modular or built-in set of buttons and analog sticks. I don’t know how the app ecosystem would work for sensitive things like banking but it’s mostly a minor issue for me.
Oh for sure. They’re no saints but they’re very far from the worst option out there, and they’ve been making some massive contributions to the linux space in general. I’d gladly grab something they made if they happen to be one of the first on the scene - look at the Steam Deck and what it’s done for the handheld space.
