I’m definitely not Team Nintendo on this, but why was Dolphin on Steam anyway?

i think they wanted to make it more accessible and Steam has a very wide audience relative to their website? i'm not sure, the whole affair was very confusing.

I think in particular they were targeting Steam Deck users b/c the current install process uses the command line which is too big of a barrier for people who want a more console-like experience

It doesn't currently require the command line though. You can get it as a flatpak using the Discover app in desktop mode. Most people would be using EmuDeck anyway which automates that.
