Steam is completely browser based, if you scroll on your own games page, the "Steam Client WebHelper" uses all the CPU, the process steamwebhelper.exe sits in cef.win64, aka Chromium Embeded Framework.

    While it embeds the browser, I don't think it uses the web tech to draw the UI.

    It bundled with a bunch of GTK and SDL libs.

    Steam Big Picture / Steam Deck Gaming Mode is a fancy website.

    Proof: At least on Steam Deck you can right click with your mouse and print it.
