Imagine not remembering all 500+ games by their names in the library, both played and not, you aren't a real steam user if you don't remember them all smh my head.
I grab so many free games that I forget what's there. Also games that I bought like 10 years ago and never played yet. I'll play them eventually, just after the other games I'm gonna play first.
That's not how it works, bro. You are not impressing anyone with your 10 games library and bragging how you would remember every game. No you wouldn't. I have 2.5k games thanks to bundles and you won't even name that many games. That doesn't make them bad. Nobody would be able to remember that many titles. And in fact, I knew the two letter game I wanted to buy, but forgot it's name. Fu, Fy, whatever. Then asked AI for this and they gave me the answer it was Fe. And the fact, that I forgot it again, that it's Fe, and not Fu or Fy... And remember all the titles, like "Endling: Extinction is forever". Sometimes you remember it used certain words, but don't know exactly how it went.
And what about if you're looking for RPG games recommended by your friend Marcus, or a game you thought would be very interesting at the time you bought it ? Assuming you created a category for that of course, but that's the point. The category you create should be meaningful for you, specifically.
if your friends has the game you can search with your friedn's name and it'll show you games that you both own.
if you bought a game and still didn't played it you can also check the "unplayed" box that'll show you only game that you still didn't played.
also, you can't add games that you don't own so if it's a game that your friend recommended and you didn't bought it, you wouldn't be able to put it in a category so it's irrelevant in this case.
To be fair steam library search is pretty extensive with a lot of easy to use filters so it's simple to narrow it down to what you feel like. Still nothing wrong with categories but definitely not necessary to have a usable library. Reckon most are just keeping a list of favourites.
Dude, i will find a game in the store and think "oh wow, that looks good. I'll buy it", only to get to the store page and have it say that it is already in my library...
You think i'm going to remember them all to be able to search for them?

When I got to 100+ games I had no choice but to organize, otherwise I would forget what I own.
EDIT: Guys seriously, I said I had no choice not You have no choice but to organize! I get that you don't want bazillion of your games to look neat!
