Steam could do that, but that would make it a much more strongly-curated platform similar to the game consoles. This would ultimately result in games that had a higher quality bar, but also a lot fewer games in general because there's no way to automate testing games like that. Further, it would also significantly raise the cost of publishing games due to needing workers to do the vetting and quality assurance - they would have to test every game that gets submitted to make sure they comply with

Have you ever played a game with amazing graphics, but something just didn’t feel right? The problem might be the lighting. Lighting isn’t just about making things visible; it’s a crucial element that shapes emotions and guides your experience. Bad lighting can make a game world feel dull and lifeless, while great lighting can make a game unforgettable by creating emotions, leading your exploration, and immersing you in a believable world.

The conventional wisdom about releasing premium games on mobile platforms is very simple these days. To sum it up in a single word: don't. To sum it up in a few more words, it's broadly accepted that mobile platforms are the sole preserve of free-to-play models, to the extent that any premium game on these platforms is being sent out to die – that the audience is so accustomed to an up-front price tag of zero that they will balk at being asked to pay anything more, no matter how reasonable
