Steam doesn't work for most people? You sure about that? It has 132 Million active users, that's nearly double the number of PS 5s that have been sold!

Very odd comparison, you need to buy a ps5 to be a ps5 user, you don’t need to buy anything to be a steam user, you just need to sign up and you’re considered a user.

Very odd comparison...

Not really. There are more people using Steam than own a PS5 or Xbox X. So in what reality does Steam "not work for most people"?

you just need to sign up and you’re considered a user.

You'll note that I used Steam's ACTIVE user statistic. That's not people who just "signed up", those are people playing games on Steam.

Steam works just fine for most people.
