For the same reason they allow subjective opinions, impressions, spam and unimpressive junk and crap in product reviews. Valve don't care. Moderate this content? They can't even keep their own forums clean. Reputation damage doesn't matter either. Valve seems too big for that.

It's just unfortunate when people land here via search engines results for solutions, guides, tips or other content and then end up reading everything except what they were looking for. Steam is on par with Reddit in this regard.

In return, we get questionable content filters, geo-blocking and numerous censorship and restrictions that tend to hide problems rather than address them.

Game infos, solutions, guides etc. are also available on other sites. Thankfully, Steam is negligible in this regard.

Those kinds of guides were around before the awards. And users have been using Guides as a way of displaying more pictures in profile showcases. They may be more numerous now but useless guides have been around as long as guides have been available.

Why is Steam not doing anything about this?

Shouldn't it be one of the things the developers of a game has control of over in their hub?

I don't think any reasonable person would object to them purging the joke guides for their game so that people can actually find the real guides more easily.
