SIGTERM is the graceful way tho? It nicely asks programs to please close and cleanup. Unlike SIGKILL, which bombs the shop and creates orphans.

And we give steam a fewilliseconds to comply, so IDK what they're complaing about...

Please end your process. You have ten milliseconds to comply.

Please do not resist.

You're supposed to close Steam via menu or systray. If you run it in cli, you see that it cleans then a whole bunch up for a few seconds.

Steam is clunky... Exit -> Oh you want to exit? Let me launch a new window letting you know I'm shutting down and take about 20 seconds while I was sitting here idle before you asked to shutdown.

See you tomorrow where I'll validate your games again. Just in case!
