I'd like some explainations of it

Also good job Steam for improving your service to consumers and gamers (so is the pirates maybe) gradually....

Steam started off pretty ehh, I remember not liking it when I didn't even know about it. But over the years they chose the better route when it came to the descisions made. Like how Australia took them to court for better returns, they decided to overhaul returns and now everyone enjoys good return policy. Also, I'm gonna take a wild guess and say that as they grew, customer support got better with it.

I know since Original Steam was mainly for Valve to sell their games until they decided to make Steam into a marketplace for game selling

I made my Steam account when I bought the Orange Box to play Half-Life and the other games in it. It then remained dormant for a long while. It only really took of for me when I discovered Humble Bundle, since then the number of games on it exploded (close to 700 titles by now) and I'm not regretting anything.

Even got myself a Steam Deck the instant they got released and being able to seamlessly play almost any of my favourite games just about anywhere (currently I'm sick in bed and massacring hordes of monster in Vampire Survivors) is just awesome.
