How can something be more portable than portable? This smells like jargon and marketing for streaming games.

There's still different levels of portability? The Steamdeck is portable, but not nearly as much as say a smartphone which can fit in pockets.
In pcs, all laptops are considered portable, but not all are ultraportable.
Ultra-portable laptops, actually have specific dimensions, weight and other characteristics they have to reach to be called that (Intel pushed the standard several years ago to earn the badging for OEM devices). Devices like Asus Zenbook or Lenovo Yoga are considered this.
In handheld, I absolutely wouldn't call any current handheld pc ultraportable. The Switch and anything thinner/lighter would probably be the gate to using the classification.
