Comparing a photo app to steam is like comparing basic addition to quantum physics.

The sheer amount of complexity that goes into the business side out side of just the app it self is truly immense.

Steam is more then just an app. It's entire business empire with years and years of connections, agreements and contracts, secondary services, infrastructure and more.

Even if you managed to clone steam 1:1 you would still have nothing. The app alone is honestly the least important aspect of the entire thing.
