This seems like a "me too" comment, but I agree on family sharing being fairly poor for most (IMO) families. I still love steam, but I was really excited to share my library of 300 games with my son who just got a steam deck (like I could easily do if I had hard-copies), but no. We have to take turns playing (different games). Now we need to be creative whose account owns which game when making purchase.

Also kind of frustrated any time I see someone complain about this, there is a horde of people saying "you're wrong and greedy, steam is awesome".

I realize doing this the "right" way might be impractical from a licensing standpoint (or people cheating the system). It still pales in comparison to hard-copies though in this regard.
