Because the free version usually isn't as good.

Jelly fin, as of a year ago, was still using a mouse cursor for remote use. It was a dumpster fire compared to Plex. And that's before you have to include hosting a reverse fucking proxy to share.

You want me to go through the full list of shit that's been broken on my steam deck? A device that should be polished and ready to the consumer? Do you think shit like steak decks are as polished and easy to use as a switch?

It's not hard to figure out if you drop the biases that come with most foss community members.

My steam deck can play more Nintendo games than my switch.

hosting a proxy server is part of self hosting, so I would to that anyway. asking me to pay for that is not going to fly
