Sometimes software that runs stable and does its thing, and does so in the same manner for years, is quite refreshing. Doing its job good, and stable, wothout adding shit nobody needs is a goodbthing.

Aye, I still use MATE on Linux because I don't need a new, fancy interface or new desktop effects, I just need something simple to do what it needs to do.

Same with Steam -- it's just an interface to get to the games. Doesn't need to be obtrusive or detailed, just good enough to help me do what I need it to do.

To be clear, I like that they haven't added more features. Though Steam always did a lot of unnecessary stuff to begin with, like forcing updates or having to run in the first place.
