Steam is a bastard child of monopoly. They don’t innovate because they barely have any competition.
And to this dya one cant fucking increase font size in Steam. Fuck them, I’m old, the letters are a little to small for me. Even fucking browsers allow for font changes, but not Steam. Fuck them.
Also a great VR Headset and the runtime used by this and many other VR Headsets. If anyone is actually innovating it’s Valve. Everyone else is mostly trying to catch up to the features Steam provides.
Steam isn’t just the client, it’s also a ton of APIs (steamworks sdk) and services available to developers for integration with Steam, Steam workshop, distribution of updates, cloud save, multiplayer, chat, achievements etc.
No other launcher comes even close in terms of functionality even if the UI isn’t perfect.

Shouldn’t Steam client scale with whatever DPI scaling you have set up?
That’s right, that’s why they worked their asses off improving Linux support, designing new controllers and the steam deck.

And they still refuse to let their software be handled properly by the window manager. It’s really annoying.
There are plenty of competitors to Steam. They just suck in comparison.
There is a scaling factor for the GUI (by default it checks your monitor’s DPI).
