The steam deck is much wider than a normal controller, so much less of an angle is needed for a comfortable grip. There’s a reason that most handhelds (Switch, Rog Ally, Lenovo Go, Wii U gamepad, etc) don’t have angled grips.
I find the regular steam deck to be very comfortable for it’s size and weight.

I get cramps after 20 minutes and it’s not as if I had particularly wide shoulders. I wouldn’t consider the Switch to be ergonomic either.
The Ally has more angle
And the Legion Go has detachable controllers and is wider.
And I’m far from alone that’s complaining about it
