Mega Man 4 is my favorite NES game. I also love Mega Man 2 and 6. 5 is fun. 3 is overrated. 1 is okay. I'll write you a paragraph on each game if you'd like. Try The Sequel Wars!

I find gamepads to be more comfortable than mouse and keyboard, and most modern games are designed such that all of their functions can be performed comfortably on controller. I also tend to play a lot of games that benefit from having an analog stick.
All just preference, of course. Kb/m and gamepads are good at different things.

Very fair. Personally, I think most games made today are designed around gamepads (with the exception of some genres, especially shooters), but even then kb/m does work fine for most games.

That's a good point. I did say "most games" because some genres are definitely better on kb/m, but I didn't think about how that's what most Steam users are probably playing.

I think that article's headline is incorrect. Valve's article said that 10% of *controller* sessions are Steam Decks, not 10% of Steam Input sessions. Here's Valve's article: https://steamcommunity.com/games/593110/announcements/detail/4142827237888316812
So weird that only 15% of Steam sessions are using controllers. I thought everyone had a controller. Most games are just better with a gamepad.
59% of controller sessions are using Xbox controllers. Not surprising, but I wonder how many of those Xbox controllers aren't actually Xbox controllers. I use an 8BitDo Pro 2, which uses X-Input on PC. Though the majority of my gaming is done on Deck now.
