16gb of ram cost 100$ more now. The SSD cost another 100$ more. We know they are for profit. Steam deck is just too expensive to make. That’s it. Why you feel entitled to getting hardware cheaper than production cost?
It sucks that the SD got more expensive, but your calculation about relevant component price hikes is spot-on.
Blaming Valve for that is a kind of victim blaming, because Valve would love to bring even more users in their eco-system through affordable hardware that just works.
