Doesn't it still cost $100 or so to publish a game? Its not a huge amount but how is it not deterring more slop?!

    The goal of that fee as a rate limiter is to prevent one developer from releasing hundreds of "games", not to prevent thousands of developers from each releasing one.

    100 dollars to see your "game" on Steam is a minimal barrier, especially if you have the money to be AI-generating art for games.
