Of course, Steam is also flooded with shovelware, and has been since they adopted the above policy (well before the AI boom), so it's not a useful metric for this anyway. Most people can't see a lot of this shovelware, because Steam hides porn games by default, but it definitely exists.
(The above is not meant to imply that *all* porn games are shovelware. Quite a lot of shovelware is porn, however, because some users will happily pay a few dollars for sexualized images wrapped in a thin layer of gameplay, even though they would not pay for either in isolation. Go figure.)
