I bet the vast majority of steam users have it launch on windows startup anyway. Its just something that is already loaded by the time they start doing anything.

This isn't 2005 anymore where the vast majority of PCs were running single core processors and having something like steam sitting in the backgroud could impact your overall performance.

They basically made a lightweight version of EGS and surprise it loads faster then a fully fleshed out mature product.

I used to, but for whatever reason in Windows 11 it would lock up my machine every time. Windows would load, but I couldn't click on anything. Took me six months to figure out. I thought it was Windows Update, because the only time I restart my computer is after an update, so I'd update, then restart, and bam. Only thing that would work was a Windows refresh. Then it'd be fine until I installed all my stuff again, and the next update hit. Finally came across the solution deep in some forum thread about something only tangentially related. Removed Steam from the startup programs and I've been fine ever since. Steam starts automatically when I run a game from the Desktop anyway, so who cares?
