For me it was a time issue. If I was a teenager with time to kill, I’d sink endless hours into it. But regularly picking it up and putting it down is kind of disruptive to the flow of the game in my opinion. It’s not something I feel you can play for 30 minutes or even an hour and get much out of.

Overall incredible game though, that I highly recommend.

Just wanted to say, I am a software engineer, and your concerns are valid.

The user experience is surely something Steam wants to improve, and I expect they will iterate both on the current software and future hardware revisions.

I don’t think anyone other than Valve will know why they don’t have the desired functionality. The answers are usually long and boring for this type of problem.

A good rule of thumb, is to assume anything you’ve requested or uploaded on the internet has been logged and saved by some third party. Really all one can do is mask themselves, so they appear anonymous. But otherwise we are all being tracked by the systems we are using at multiple levels.

Delete buttons might as well be feel good sugar pills. Even with GDPR and other laws in place, companies make mistakes and may discover they stored your information illegally for years after a takedown request is submitted.
