Well yes... I was responding to your question about why a launcher would need HDR support.

It needs HDR support because "steam" is more than just a launcher. It includes proton, which needs HDR support so that games that have HDR support can use HDR.

It includes proton

Not really. Steam doesn't include Proton by default. It's downloaded on demand. It's a separate product with its own code base (derived from WINE), bug tracker, and since recently even its own logo.

Just because it's an optional component, doesn't mean that it isn't part of an overarching product. KDE contains many different parts that may or may not be installed, that doesn't mean they aren't part of KDE. "Steam" is a larger product composed of separate models such as the GUI and compatibility layer.

OK, whatever. I'm not fighting this battle for a minor thing you're wrong about.
