SD download option is the answer.

I think this whole issue shouldn't exist in the first place.

I do understand that full voice over and 4k ready textures comes at a price but some devs are getting lazy and some games are just ridiculous.

We're talking about handhelds like Steam Deck. Even if I plug it in as a console it won't have the juice to run at full resolution.

When I want to quickly grab an episode of a tv series to watch on my mobile I'll be super happy with 300mb 720p version. I don't need a 50gb rip in 4k in HDR with Atmos sound. Same option should be available for games.
