Natural disasters are also part of nature. It doesn't follow that I should want to be hit by a tsunami because of this.

A large quantity of my games are outright terrible to play on my steam deck. I have my games divided into categories based on if they're worth playing on it or not. For more intense games where the framerate is abysmal and audio stutters, I avoid using it. That or for games that I want the extra smoothness and visual fidelity. There are many, many games that are like this. It includes older ones too.

The company doing well is a lovely outcome. However, at what point do they care about me doing well? Or do they just want to do the bare minimum to keep me alive and in my seat?

The language is absolutely not the problem. It's not a particularly difficult or complex language at all. In fact, it's pretty elegant and easy to understand the language. It's the things built on top of it that are difficult.

Even if someone could do fine, I'd prefer to skip out on them rather than let those who aren't fit through.

Solar panels would be nowhere near as effective far away from a star. Building things as far out as Jupiter or to traverse interstellar areas can't rely on them.

You'd do well here to not start attacking someone for how they want to live their life. Nothing about cooking means they have to stay inside while traveling. This is a fully valid way to do things. You can get access to new ingredients in new places.

When my Android phone broke in the past I was lent an iPhone 6s to use in the meantime. It was absolutely slow and many things didn't work. I ended up getting rid of it because having no phone was better than using it.
