I think we are spoiled by hardware manufactureres that release new stuff at least twice a year.

I agree with this. Producing stuff that’s barely any different year to year is just a waste of resources, literally

It's why I really don't mind the longer times between GPU generations. Phones should do the same, to be honest. It's not like there are major performance uplifts anually, and the amount of e-waste reduction there'd be would be huge.

I actually think that's worse for the customer. This way, games will be targeted to run well on the steam deck throughout its lifetime.
