Huh? Less games launched on steam? First time I hear that. Any source?

But my guess would be: games are closed sourced and need physics. Which AI is bad at.

Just google “games released on steam by year”.

Many games don’t need physics, and there are a billion hobby projects on GitHub.

Does not look like less games.

Sorry, I swapped the numbers. It's actually 1447 this year vs 1413 last year so 34 more games this year. So essentially now growth. Despite there being a clearly accelerating growth trend since 2018.
