How would someone use the steamdeck to download all their photos off google photos?

  If it is generally possible with a browser it is possible on the Steam Deck.

  Like others mentioned, request Google Takeout which gives you all your photos. I recommend keeping the original zip/tar.gz for future reference (e.g. you need specific metadata not included in the photos directly).

  Also, make sure to keep backups. E.g. upload it preferably encrypted, and store the password in a password manager. Make a copy on a USB SSD, and not just the Steam Deck (you might wipe it, lose it, …).

  Boot to desktop mode.

  Use browser to visit GPhotos?

  Can also try using KDE Kio GDrive or Google Takeout

  Or be crazy and try Waydroid and installing Google Photos there.

  Open a browser, go to Google Takeout, request a copy of your data. Download the .tar.gz files, extract them anywhere, then delete the files through the browser.

  You can also do that from a smartphone or a tablet or a smart fridge as long as you have a browser and the storage space to download the takeout dump to.

  Very very easy to do with a Steam Deck. Let me know if you need directives.
