Because matte vs glossy is a separate discussion from cheap vs premium. The former is about marching the expected viewing conditions and the latter is about how advanced it tries to be about doing so. If you want the most optimal possible viewing experience you need to combine multiple aspects like that, not just buy a premium device.

My whole complaint is that it increasingly isn’t!

If I wanted a “premium” variant of Steam Deck, I had no choice to opt out of matte coating.

If I want the best TV panel possible from Sony, it only comes with the matte coating.

I’m fine with the option for matte being there for folks who like this! I just want to be able to opt-out of it, if I still want the “best” among other axes.
