There haven't been many good reasons to release a 32-bit only macOS app for some time. If Valve is at fault, it's that they didn't require publishers to submit 64-bit builds for macOS years ago.

Valve didn't even have a 64-bit build of Steam for the Mac until after Catalina was out.

I forgot about this. Valve released a 64-bit build of Steam two months before Catalina came out [1], but they did not migrate users of the 32-bit version to the 64-bit version automatically.

There hasn't been much reason to release a new one, but there also hasn't been much reason to port old ones.
