The thing that makes it worth it to me is long, randomly generated passwords that I don't have to know.

None of the sites and services I use require me to type out a password thanks to browser integration and auto type (for desktop apps and such), along with autofill service on android.

Then along with that I can even store other things like account recovery codes (for 2fa) or security questions (which also get randomly generated answers)... It's a handy thing to have IMHO

Yeah but then you have to trust Dropbox

Yeah it could definitely be more interactive, but then it would annoy users for the entirely opposite problem. I can see the complaints now in my head: "Steam prompts me about Steam Input before every single game I play! I get it valve" or similar (you and I both know the person would be ignoring some "don't remind me" option

but I have no idea why people like Steam so much.

Convenience is, I think, the primary driving force.

On the other hand though, Steam Input is really powerful for remapping inputs and setting up controller maps to use for keyboard and mouse games. I've never had trouble with it apart from with an old handheld PC that registers its built in controller as an Xbox 360 controller instead of Xbox One

A vintage meme sir but it checks out

Honestly all of the "it runs badly even on a 4090" stuff is talking about 4K with all the settings maxed - It runs at a solid minimum 30 for me at 1440p on my 3080 at nearly ultra settings. As long as you're not expecting 60FPS at 4K, you can enable RT overdrive on affordable hardware.

I use a Bluetooth Xbox series controller all the time with my deck and my Linux desktop. What kind of trouble does it give you?

Fusion 360 works pretty well via Lutris

Tailscale basically uses NAT hole-punching, doesn't require any port-forwarding ever, it's great

Yep same story here
