So let's review.
The Desert Eagle is very accurate, has a detachable magazine, and fires a very powerful round.
However:
The ergonomics are hardly practical for fast reactions.
It is too powerful to be practical for defense against humans.
It is too unreliable to be practical for defense against anything big enough to require such a powerful round.
Therefore:
Yes. Except for a very limited number of applications (handgun hunting on non-dangerous game, long-range target shooting) the Desert Eagle sucks. In all respects, it is totally outclassed by large revolvers offered by Smith & Wesson, Colt, Ruger, and even IMI (with the BFR.)
