I thought it was due to their poor grasp on mathematics and inability to count beyond two.

...Granted you can turn this off, but by default every time you start Steam an ad for a game flies up in your face.

I would also call every single store page on Steam a "sold ad." Again, granted that it doesn't seem you can pay to promote your game above anyone else's and the search seems to be fairly straightforward and functional.

While I do feel there is definitely advertising that happens on Steam, I'm okay with the level of it. I can find products I want, and products I do not want are not mercilessly crammed down my throat.

Lol. This is a cute idea but we all know it will go through enshittification with time. You are naive if you believe otherwise.
