The fact we are given a choice is a big thing for me. I hate when my info is just pulled from me without my agency. But I am happy to share info with open source project to help them improve. Also valve being a private company they can just build software as their main goal vs just making the line go up by any means possible like a public company.
you can be sure that Valve will sell this data to help data brokers create a more accurate profile of users so they can sell ads and make even more profit
If you run any proprietary software connected to the internet then it can send this info to whomever. If you use a regular web browser with Javascript enabled then a lot of this info can also be obtained by whatever website you’re visiting.
giving more details about your hardware to Valve profit from you even more
Because they don’t already have all this info and more about me?

You realize the valve hardware survey data is made publicly available?
How tf do you “sell” that which anyone can access for free?
The aggregate info is public, but valve can tie it to individual users.
