Recently got a switch. Digital games are same price as physical, locked to my account/switch and saves don’t move easily between devices. Steam deck, I can play on any hardware that can support it TV, PC laptop games cloud save for free. I can play online games for free. I know that games I buy today will be available in 10 years on my next PC. I only buy carts for the switch cause they give me more flexibility still not even the same as steam.

Yep each windows version conveniently has higher specs than the last but I can run the latest xubuntu on anything made in the last 20 years

You wouldn’t be able to register your car in the United States without a bunch of hoops. Many custom builds will leverage an existing wrecked car just because of the existing vin number to ease registration
