Control back in the right place... where you can press it with your left pinkie without taking your fingers off the home keys? Rather than where useless caps lock is just wasting space?

No, not quite. They're funded by venture capitalists, who put money into investment rounds on the understanding (speculative gamble?) that the company will have a given future value. The last funding round was $6.6bn on the basis that the company will be worth $157bn when it is floated on the stock market. Ed Zitron has quite a good analysis on his page, and also why their business is a complete pile of shite:
Not that I disagree with your point about walled gardens, but "better" hardware for a handheld gaming machine needs to have a decent balance between performance and battery life. Longest plane or train journey that I'm likely to take is about five hours, and I'd need to rate any gaming hardware on the ability to run for that length of time. On that basis, the Switch is pretty much optimal. My phone has a higher resolution and can probably push more frames, but it would run hot for about forty-five minutes maximum. Plus, I'd then not be able to make calls or listen to tunes at my destination.
Steam deck would probably be a better choice, though. Fuck Nintendo.
Absolutely NO sexuality explicit content. This includes, but not limited to, images/videos/chat around sexual acts. There are other places on the internet for this.

Having the suit one corner and the rank in the other is going to make these a bastard to play games with. How would you hold them in your hand so's that you can see both?
Identity is a many-layered thing, and I'd never describe myself as British unless very specifically prompted to do so, but I can at least sign that. 5,071 let's go!
So far we've had "amazing Fallout RPG on a janky engine" when (Black Isle / Obsidian) developed it, and "bland Fallout RPG on a janky engine" when Bethesda have developed it. Having both great writers and a decent engine would be amazing for Fallout, although just Obsidian and their Pillars of Eternity engine would be perfect with me.
Larian have said that they'd like to get away from DnD 5e after working on BG3 for so long, so I'm assuming they won't have licensed Pathfinder either. If we take the set of all possible IPs and strike out those two, then that must make Fallout more likely. (Albeit not very likely.)
Halo: Combat Evolved sucks? That's a hot take - been a few years, but I did enjoy playing it, massive controllers and all. Or did you have a specific one in mind?
Well, we've a single cable coming over from France that makes up about 3% (I think) of our total electricity supply. So "French Nuclear" should be a bigger entry in that table than coal, solar, hydro or bio. That's not the only import, either, so it's not completely impractical for the missing percentages to be imports.
I think every game of theirs since Dark Souls has a decent supply of homebones, and you can always 'suicide out' with the darksign. This a Demon's Souls issue? Never before in the history of video games has so much jank been dropped haphazardly into a pile and ended up creating such a great game. If you can't get stuck on geometry in that, then it's the only technical issue it doesn't have.
Assuming you had a pretty decent monitor and graphics output in the 90s, it may have been 800x600, but more likely 640x480, and you'd have been using the standard issue bitmap font with no anti-aliasing, blitted to screen using software rendering. Probably in a single colour, too.
Alas, the problem with that is that it doesn't scale. On xterm a 4K monitor, I can watch Vim redrawing the screen, paging through logs is painful. Use Kitty for the same, it's instant, I can flip through tabs and split screens too, and have niceties like anti-aliased fonts and transparency if I want them.
Some people spend a lot of time in the terminal, so I can't fault them for taking the time to make a nice working environment and sharing that work with others.
At least they're fucking up their own series! So much worse when some big publishers buy out a beloved series and fucks it up properly, often never to be seen again. Could be Eidos fucking up Thief, Bethesda fucking up Fallout; EA fucking up Syndicate, Dungeon Keeper, Dead Space, SimCity, Need for Speed, Star Wars: Battlefront, Command & Conquer, Ultima and The Settlers. In fact, just fuck EA.
