I'm thinking about getting a handheld as I'm spending more time away from my house and PC. I don't want to get buy hundreds of dollars of games to go with it.

3ds xl / switch / Steam deck / Legion?

There seems a lot of options and all have plenty of games to them. Is there an obvious choice that I'm not aware of?

Thanks.

EDIT: Thanks for the info, a lot to think about. Basically it seems to come down to money anerbic // new 3ds xl // Steam deck. There'll be games on any system that I'll be happy with.

You likely already have a smartphone, so why not just get a controller that plugs directly into its USB-C port? Then load up whichever emulator you want. Chances are, your phone is considerably faster than most emulation handhelds anyway.
