The tests that outperformed were in docked (not handheld) mode anyway, which means comparing this to the Deck is not really valid. Compare it to a gaming PC or console instead.
I am at a point that I kinda long for an update. Like the HTC Vive > Valve Index.
I know there are beefier handhelds but AFAIK the difference is not high enough for me to justificate an upgrade. Its really games released this year. Before, FSR 3 makes almost anything playable on Deck.
Most games on Switch 2 will be bespoke ports while Deck will run Windows versions through a compatibility layer because Proton made devs forgo Linux native versions. Those tests were done in both handheld and docked. For handheld there are pros and cons for both but Switch looks much better, has better battery life (although with more dips below target framerate). Docked Switch simply blows the Deck away but that’s not a real life scenario really as you’ve said.
This is not a one-off, Switch is just newer hardware that’s carried by DLSS too. If you game on a budget you can buy and sell used copies on Switch as well. Not as simple decision as you make it out to be.
IIRC Witcher 2 used eON which is also some sort of translation mechanism. But yeah, native port is not a guarantee of stability. Wine/Proton is a guarantee that you’ll be losing performance on overhead due to those being a reverse engineered reimplementation of Windows libraries. It can be mitigated due to Linux being more performant and/or less bloated with adware. Regardless of all of this, we should be making comparisons to as-is performance because that’s what ultimately matters to end consumer.
Tldr switch wins on most counts. Mostly due to bespoke effort to make it run better. Also docked. Go for a deck anyway.

Thanks forgot. Edited.

To be fair, a lot of the “native” linux version run worse than the proton version does. Just look at Witcher 2.
