Frame rate and optimization issues currently leave CS2 anything but playable on Steam Deck, but it appears that Valve is working quickly to fix things.
Anything can be suboptimal hardware, the Steam Deck is no different from any other computer and does not even have to be a handheld.
And I do not play or own a Steam Deck or alike, if that concerns you. Accept other peoples hardware and ways to play, it’s a whole lot easier than whatever you’re doing.
The thing could be a budget gaming PC for some people. Most people are not going to be competing super hard; they just want to play the game and have fun. Who else would be taking up the bronze and silver brackets?
Can you not connect a mouse and keyboard to the deck?
you can

The only way people should play is MY way! Get out of here computer-with-attached-controls users, you’re worthless and not welcome!

The size of screen is a huge disadvantage by itself
Can it not output the display to, say, a TV?

Yes, they sell a dock just for this purpose.
And pretty much any USBC dock will work as well.
4K output. Peripheral/mouse and keyboard support. It’s a PC.
