Steam's presence API only supports one playing device at a time. It wouldn't be able to understand multiple active playing games on one account.

So it claims, but many games let you click X on that dialog and play other games. I have an old laptop which is basically a dedicated Civ 6 machine. I can still play any other steam game on my desktop while the laptop has Civ open.

Many games on Steam can run without access to Steam. When you close that dialog you're denying the game access to the Steam API.
