I managed to fix the issue myself: I had to install separate lib32- versions of those libs. Dunno why I never had that issue before. Having a separate issue now, it doesn't launch steam at all.
Steam does not produce logs,
but this was in stdout:
steam.sh[4561]: Running Steam on arch rolling 64-bit
steam.sh[4561]: STEAM_RUNTIME is enabled automatically
steam.sh[4561]: Can't find 'steam-runtime-check-requirements', continuing anyway
Error: You are missing the following 32-bit libraries, and Steam may not run: libpipewire-0.3.so.0 libvdpau.so.1
Please ask the maintainers of https://archlinux.org/packages/multilib/x86_64/steam/ to add dependencies on the lib32- versions of those libraries.
steam.sh[4561]: Can't find 'steam-runtime-check-requirements', continuing anyway
Did you already have Steam installed and working, or is this a new installation?
Seeing this message on first-run is harmless. A future Steam release might add it to the bootstrapper to silence this warning.
Seeing this in an existing installation is unexpected.

Existing installation
Managed to fix it by backing up my .local/share/Steam directory and reinstalling steam. Dunno why it did that.
Closing as I have everything now
Nothing extracted yet.

It should have loaded up the steamui, but instead it showed this error.
I DID try to install the libraries in question, but they were already installed.
