what makes it more usable than just having moonlight?
It also lets you setup and use the controls for that specific game, rather than sharing the same setup for all games through Moonlight. e.g. KBM controls on one game, used for both on-device and MoonDeck, and standard controller on another.
There's a host app that runs on the host machine alongside Sunshine that reads your Steam library, and the Deck plugin adds an icon on each game's banner on your Deck. When you click the icon, the plugin communicates with the host app and then automatically starts a Moonlight/Sunshine session that then starts up the game you were on. You only have to add one "app" to Sunshine and set up the MoonDeckBuddy app on the host, and then you have streaming for your entire library available.
