I have the Steam Overlay disabled everywhere I can think of:

The only thought I have is that it's something to do with Vulkan, the steam overlay vulkan layer, and the fact that I run sway with WLR_RENDERER=vulkan? But that's just a completely random guess.

Yeah Steam is stupid and doesn't actually disable the overlay, I spent ages debugging an issue related to it.

Try launch the game like LD_PRELOAD='' %command%, Steam manually injects the library, this overrides the injection.
