I feel like the part where they say

the X code to run steam […]

is what sets it apart from the entire X server code. Something specific to Steam. But I could be wrong.

I can't find anything online but I remember when I started using linux ( around 12 years ago ) I kept hearing stuff on IRC about how steam needed specific workaround in the X11 and how that was setting a bad precedent.
