Is it good enough for you? Is that why you will get it? Where are these people you speak of…?
I highly doubt there are enough people that want that super particular use case to make this particular handheld stand out at all, especially ones that didnt meet their needs with another handheld already.
I hate live service games and Windows, so no, this device is not for me, but those are also the most popular games on the market by a wide margin. Despite how awful the Windows experience is today, there’s still one Windows handheld sold for every two Steam Decks. That situation can only improve with a version of Windows designed for handhelds.
I see your point with the millions that play those specific games, maybe i am just disappointed by microsoft only doing the bare minimum when they are forced to.
Though not officially announced, signs of that are appearing already, including a hint or two in the speech of the conference.
And for plenty of people, being able to play live service games that don’t work on SteamOS, with a UI that’s almost as good finally, will be enough.
Oh and about the potential for native Xbox games running on PC handhelds… God i hope youre right.

This is at least progress
