It isn't just for menus, having good mouse input allows you to play significantly more games than with just joysticks.

The touchpads also can act as extra buttons or touch menus, giving you way more input options for games where you don't need one to be a mouse.

Exactly this - I play a lot of old PC games on my Steamdeck that assume you have a keyboard attached. A simple touch menu can easily give you 10 more buttons to bind!
