They definitely each have their own strengths and weaknesses, if I had to pick a winner, I'm going with Steam Deck, you just can't compete with their controller API and the Deck's assortment of input options; that alone makes everything else obsolete.

Raw horsepower(Rog v Deck) is a meaningless metric; Using the Rog is like driving a 911 without tires, just rims; you literally can't control it.

I know this literally contradicts your last sentence, but I got Diablo IV up and running on desktop Linux really easily and it runs great. I followed these instructions minus the ProtonUp-Qt part (Proton Experimental runs it): https://www.gamingonlinux.com/2023/03/heres-how-to-run-diablo-4-on-steam-deck/

It amounts to:

Add the Battle.net installer as a non-Steam game and run it with Proton Experimental
After it is installed, point your non-Steam entry to the Battle.net exe instead
