No, it's just straight up misinformation, or at least a disingenuous oversimplification.
The base model steam deck is $400 (and you can get steam-certified refurbished ones for even cheaper), and we don't know the price of the Switch 2 yet. If it comes with even some of the hardware upgrades that have been leaked, I very much doubt it'll retail for as low as $350.
The base SteamDeck doesn't have an OLED screen and is still more expensive than the Switch OLED. As for the price of the Switch 2, it's a well-known and documented practice that console manufacturers sell them at a loss and make back the profits in games. If anything, you're the one spewing misinformation.
The base steam deck blows the OLED switch out of the water specs-wise on everything other than the screen. Nothing I've said is untrue, the relevant top comment is pure speculation at best.
What does the oled matter? I have both and it is not a big deal. Id rather have lcd deck than OLED switch with free access to every nintendo game.
