I should not need to explain this one.

Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

It is news to me that people feel this strongly about steam big picture mode.
I have never even heard of steam big picture mode.
It's about a decade old but it's the couch version of Steam, completely navigable with a controller. If you've ever seen a Steam Deck, that's just Big Picture Mode.
I believe Steam Deck got a completely new interface that also later replaced the old Big Picture mode. It also of course has a more complex setup, since it's not running in a desktop environment, but that's more about the overlay and running games.
