This is a known regression, tracked as steamrt/tasks#1004 internally.

This is happening because the experimental steamrt3c Steam client is now running inside a container, with a different /usr, so it needs to follow different logic to find /usr/share/applications/steam.desktop and copy it to the autostart directory.

Nothing extracted yet.
