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 Valve's theoretical regulations and either pass or fail those games. Paying for those costs would have to come from somewhere, either cutting into Steam's margins or raising Steam prices.
