If I’ve got to transfer/re-download my whole SD library to the OLED, I would hope I can finally turn the screen off whilst it is doing so.

Step 1: take a screenshot of a completely black background
Step 2: open that screenshot when you’re downloading games
(I do agree though that this should be officially supported, but there’s more that goes into it. For example: what if you forget that just the screen is off and throw a running deck into a case and then into a backpack? So it wouldn’t be a simple feature. It would need to have mitigations built in, like turning the screen back on if the gyro detects movement or something).
I wouldn’t forget: I know when I’m downloading software on it and don’t just chuck it into the case on a whim and run out the door with it.
I am an adult, not a child and I suspect 99% of people who buy Steam Decks are.
And you’d remember correctly 99.99% of the time.
Good design isn’t about the 99.99%. It’s about the 0.01%.
