Steam just straight up doesn’t work that way. It’s an application launcher, it will happily try to run a game on integrate graphics even if you have a dedicated GPU if you haven’t configured your system properly. This is, in fact, a very common issue.
One of my favorite hobbies and genres of YouTube videos is testing out really old GPUs and CPUs on modern games to see what they do. I’ve had the game tell me it straight up won’t launch because an intel 845 doesn’t have the right graphics API for a modern game, but steam will still let the game try to launch.
Chiv probably doesn’t like your 10 year old integrated graphics because it’s 10 year old integrated graphics and you threw a hissy fit about steam instead of thinking maybe the game was the problem.
