Another thing you can do is use a Steam tag management system like Depressurizer to automatically tag games with their approximate HLTB time (eg. 1-5 hours could be a category, 6-10 hours could be another category), then on Steam Deck you can use the Tab Master plugin for Decky to show each HLTB categories as a separate tab. There are probably other ways to display the categories as well.
