I feel like the Nintendo Switch did that more, since it collapsed its console and portable lines into a single product. A Steam Deck doesn't look that much different than a Nintendo Switch in its portable form.
I was referring to the niche served by small brands like AYA NEO and GPD. They made (imo) zany but ambitious Windows handhelds before AMD had their mobile APUs / SoCs ready and before Valve's Proton & SteamOS endeavors were production-ready.
So they ran Intel SoCs (slow, pricey, and hot) on a basically vanilla Windows 10 image, sometimes with a proprietary interface that let you kinda use the device without touch and/or without a wireless kb+m. Hmm, getting deja vu with ASUS, MSI, and Lenovo right now 🤪
