I agree, but I mean... Nintendo's primary audience are children and adults who aren't necessarily tech savvy. The Deck's primary audience is practically the exact opposite. Having it work is more important than squeezing out every last ounce of power for most consumers. The same applies to the Quest (though it is much simpler to unlock that power if you're a dev or power user than a Nintendo product).
I just think of giving some mercy to the tech support team by not having the options where someone who doesn't know what they're doing could fiddle with it. The way you enable developer options in Android would be nice though. Fun even; it's like finding an Easter egg.
In a perfect world, we'd be able to just use the hardware however the fuck we wanted without any barriers. ๐
I love the phrasing in the parentheses, which can be read as saying you're either dev/power user OR a Nintendo product.
