My question is mostly for games available on Steam that you would still prefer to play on Switch. I imagine performance should be better on the deck for native/proton games, but there might be something else I am missing.

Why local multiplayer? Wouldn’t the more powerful Steam Deck generally handle that better?
I can just dock the Switch and connect 4 controllers, 2 of them already part of the system itself. For Steam Deck, the Dock would be a separate purchase and connecting 4 controllers more complicated than on the Switch.
For what it’s worth, Valve has written a steam input driver for joy-cons! You can connect them over Bluetooth! …but they’re still joy-cons, so their wireless range is really bad. You basically need direct line of sight.
It would if it had the necessary firmware. It doesn’t support Ad Hoc connections.
Depending on the game, Steam Deck makes connecting multiple controllers a massive pain. Switch you press one button and they’re connected.
