It's a fair point.

Microsoft, Sony (and Nvidia) fucked up by not having enough supply. So most gamers went back to playing their old games or expanding their libraries as they gave up waiting for new systems or GPUs. Third parties added fuel to the fire by sticking to PS4 longer because not enough new consoles were out there and they could do Switch/PS4 releases. Valve must've noticed this trend and released the Steamdeck, giving PS4 era games another boost.

Let's face it, a whole bunch of the 'best' current gen games like Resident Evil 4: Remake and Elden Ring are playable on PS4 (Pro).

It also doesn't help that the PS4/Switch are still good enough for the most part. There isn't alot of games out there that really show off why you need a PS5.
