when i have my non-tech savvy friends over, i don't want to make them sit there for 5 minutes while i try to connect all the controllers, and then make sure the game in question recognizes them all and isn't trying to map all controllers to one input or something. Maybe it's gotten better in the time since I last tried, but my experience has not been "2 minutes to run the mapper". On the Switch, you just press a button on each controller and you're rolling.
On Steamdeck, I haven't tried multiple controllers, but with one, it has been rather seamless for both the PS5 and the Stadia controller. They are both Bluetooth, and when I turn them on they just work. That said, the original SteamDeck(which is what I have) doesn't support CEC or Bluetooth waking, so the Switch wins out on automatically turning on and switching my TV's input. The OLED SteamDeck is supposed to fix that, but I'm not paying for a replacement until this one dies or a SteamDeck 2 comes along.
