The value lies in its flexibility. And it's mainly targeted for existing PC players. I can play my whole 150+ games steam library on it. I can easily emulate my favourite childhood games. Also, the smallest version with like a 256 or 512 GB SD card is perfectly fine and a lot cheaper than 600$.

There are use cases where a traditional console is cheaper of course, but you can't get AAA handheld gaming for less money.
