It's not good. Sometimes the only computer a kid has is a chromebook because their parents got it for them for school. I'm seeing more and people just don't have computers at all. PC isn't moving fluidly to the next generation as a result. I've told parents about steam deck hoping they'll pick that as their kid's game console, but it's not as easy as when I was a kid where you just had a computer anyway and it was about if it could play the game you wanted to play. With the indie scene that concern when away a lot, but now a lot of kids just don't have PCs

I would personally rather have no computer than a spyware infested one, but i see your point.
