Are PC handhelds like Steam Deck really competitors for Switch 2? (www.polygon.com)

I feel like that's more of a preference than a competitor/competition though.

Depends on what you are after. Plenty of people are just looking to game, without anything specific in mind. Also plenty of people might see the real difference, want both, but only have the money for one. In these cases I would say that they are competitors as the buyer is contemplating which of the two to buy.

What's the difference?

Honestly for me it came down to where i prefer to buy my games. Steam games will follow me for the forseeable future and switch games will not. I gave my coworker my nintendo account too with over $500 of games on it and i was like that's it. That's enough sunk cost that i will lose.
