I actually like cryptocurrency and think it has many good use cases, but this is not one of them. Crypto is designed for trustless, decentralized systems. Steam is centralized, so there's no need for that trustless economy.
If there were ever a similar library which was open source and run by the people, then potentially crypto would be viable for that system, but for Steam it's simply unnecessary.
