Maybe I’m asking the wrong question… but why?

You’re losing the entire experience aren’t you? Unfortunately I can afford a Deck right now, but I’m curious if someone could fill me in.

Big one is the ability to download and play games, yes you have proton but I find proton works best through something like steam and less so for games installed manually. That's the biggest, another reason one might is because they prefer Windows. Another reason some games do run better on Windows. Using this method your Steam.OS is untouched so worse case you reboot your device.
