I feel like retro handheld companies are having a "battle of wills" with their customers.

Releasing devices like the RG Slide, which can barely handle PS2 games, or low-spec models like the RG DS makes it seem that way. Even the decision to remove the 3.5mm jack from the Miyoo Mini Flip or the design of the Retroid G2 feels intentional. It's as if these companies are determined never to give us a perfectly seamless emulation experience.
