It's a fluff app for messaging and so on, no actual gaming.

Yes, but it allows access to the store - directly contradicting rafadc's theory.
The difference is in the steam store app doesn't actually enable you to play the games on the phone itself, while the steam link app will let you do exactly that.
> so TeamViewer, Remote Desktop etc. are all banned
If they were wrapped up in a single package that was marketed towards buying and playing those games, using the same logic they quite probably would be.
So steam should release a game streaming app that’s separate from a store app.
But they disabled the store on the streaming app. So in function it was separate.
