The main reason to buy a Nintendo product these days is access to their line of exclussive games. If you are not interested in playing Zeldas and Marios I think it is s more economical in the long run to buy a Steam Deck or a clone, mainly because PC titles are cheap and often available for free (legally), not to mention these handhelds can emulate easily up to the 7th generation of consoles and in a pich you can ssh into your servers and run your data center from one. Certainly, if you have a Playstation system already and you don't need to play on the go there is not much of a reason to buy anything else.

But then if you don't play that much I suspect a console makes a bit more sense... an Evercade and a couple of game cartridges are cheaper than a gaming computer, if you get the gist.
