That much I can agree with at this point.
Actually, it's arguably even worse - it's not that Steam doesn't support normal TOTP, it's that Steam goes out of their way to prevent TOTP from being used without switching to an entirely new algorithm.

Thanks, and added.
Although it would have been nice if I could "upgrade" from email based 2step instead of having to disable it.

Their platform is really outdated. Can’t even edit or remove a game review without contacting support. It’s dumb. They’re losing precious time because of this
