Here in Germany I can get it certified refurbished for 340€ (64gb), 440€ (256gb) or 540€ (540€). You can go for the cheapest and upgrade the storage. Seems affordable to me.

First of all why are we comparing a handheld to a console? That just doesn't make any sense.

And since when are games for consoles cheaper anyways? Seems like PC games go on sales much faster.

For any PC gamer with an existing library (or any pirate) you already have plenty of games to play on the steam deck. No need to buy anything new.

Also don't some games on the playstation for example need a subscription for online play?

That said you are right that if you want access to a large variety of games then game pass+Xbox is a solid option. But look at streaming services and mark my words: this won't last forever. They WILL enshittfy it eventually.
