My question is mostly for games available on Steam that you would still prefer to play on Switch. I imagine performance should be better on the deck for native/proton games, but there might be something else I am missing.

Basically any indies or games that have been ported to Switch, you're gonna get better performance on the Deck.

There are a few games like Okami which do neat things with the joycons and go on sale often enough that I can justify buying them on the Switch.

I still get the occasional Nintendo exclusive on my Switch for the sake of convenience. I'm too lazy to try and emulate TOTK on the Deck for example.
