      Especially considering what’s classified as a vulnerability.

      The vulnerability on the switch let’s you execute unsigned code in user space, no kernel access or even hardware acceleration.

      On the steam deck (like on any PC) that’s nit called a vulnerability but “running a program”. It’s literally the main use case.

        And on Switch, it’s forbidden typically. Which is part of why people advocate for the Steam Deck instead. From Nintendo’s perspective, this very much is a vulnerability. It’s just not leading to custom firmware or ROM dumps from what I understand, so it’s not even close to the most significant vulnerability.
