Pro: We won’t have to repurchase games.

Con: Assuming native compatibility, this likely won’t be a very exciting console.

A beefier Switch is what everyone wants. The number 1 complaint I hear about it is how game X looks worse on it than the Xbox/PS version.

Hopefully Nintendo learned its lessons from the Wii U.

Yeah playing emulated Switch games is a much better experience on a Steam Deck than it is on the Switch. Nintendo is in a weird spot now because the competitive landscape is much different.
