Current:

exec ${in_container[0]+"${in_container[@]}"} ${in_runtime[0]+"${in_runtime[@]}"} "${DIR}/steamwebhelper" "$@" &> ~/.steam/steam/logs/steamwebhelper.log

Suggested:

exec ${in_container[0]+"${in_container[@]}"} ${in_runtime[0]+"${in_runtime[@]}"} "${DIR}/steamwebhelper" "$@" &> "${STEAM_CLIENT_LOG_FOLDER}/steamwebhelper.log"

If the environment variable is not set, you could either:

Set a fallback value.
Don't write the log file.

Maybe even

exec ${in_container[0]+"${in_container[@]}"} ${in_runtime[0]+"${in_runtime[@]}"} "${DIR}/steamwebhelper" "$@" &> "${STEAM_CLIENT_LOG_FOLDER:-~/.steam/steam/logs}/steamwebhelper.log"
