Not a reviewer so just my two cents…

Allow other Snap apps to use steam-support, instead of just Steam

I highly doubt you will ever get permission to use steam-support on anything but steam, it was clearly designed for that single app use case and grants way more permissions than any app game launcher would need … Creating a game-launcher interface that does not drop 95% of the confinement (please see the source code comments of the interface to see what I mean…) might be acceptable though … Alternatively if this does not work because nobody steps up to even start work on such an interface, it …

Note that as a last resort you can also make the steam-support interface available for usage by publishing the snap via external channels(e.g. GitHub Releases), declaring the interface in the plugs section of the Snapcraft project file, and require the user to manually connect the interface after detecting the missing of the connection. This will also disable the auto-update mechanism so you’ll also need to implement update checking functionality if not already available.
