Steam Deck: Shines for locally installed games (and even remote play to Steam running on another *local* PC)
Logitech G Cloud: for cloud gaming. For example Xbox Cloud Gaming and NVIDIA GeForce NOW.
So because I want both Steam and PS5 streaming, I'm looking at the Backbone One PS version... except that it doesn't fit an ipad mini without a PITA mod, which is the best suitable screen and also like $500. I probably spent 4 hours last night looking for a good 7" or 8" OLED 1080p Android screen... and there isn't one. This thing has the BEST screen available at any reasonable price point. It's only the PS Play lack of support that kills the deal.

As someone mentioned below, the $180 or so for refurbished seems reasonable. But at $250.... there's a lot more competition in that $2-300 mark and this becomes a much harder buy.

Not saying the Steam Deck is bad, my go to device WAS the OG SD and now it is the OLED SD. Again "different categories" therefore do not belong in the same conversation. Now, back to k-cup makers

This would probably suck if you did not have a very strong internet connection as there would be no reliable connection to the "cloud."

Again, who is talking about emulation? Or K-cups makers for that matter...
What competition? Make sure it has a similar screen, is an all in one unit (not some janky add on controller which you strap to your phone), and of course is a purpose built cloud gaming device?
This is just a very limited use product and is hard to justify at $250. Just like the PS Portal thing. They're not necessarily bad devices.... just expensive for what they offer.
Again, at a <$200 price point it's a much better proposition.

Notice my goalposts don't need to be in the parking lot to make my point? Again, I'm talking ONLY cloud gaming...not emulation, vacuuming, or k-cups.
