I can't think of a reason why I would want to hide a game. What am I missing?

Steam is full of anime porn games.
For a long time there wasn't even a way to filter them meaningfully, as porn and gore were in the same category. So you either had the default filter and couldn't see some of the most violent games, or you turned the filter off and every listing turned into 90% porn games. I think they realized that and now have separate categories for "adult because gory" and "tits".
let's just say that steam has a section of games distinctly not aimed at children.
Hentai or porn games.
No one needs to know I'm playing HunnyPop BeastLover 3
Think visual novels but the visuals are maybe something you wouldn't want your parents to see, unless they're freak nasty.
I haven't seen anyone else mention the reason why I actually want this feature.
I want to be able to hide the non-games/utilities so that it doesn't say I'm constantly playing things like blender, fpsvr, etc.

Now I can finally hide all of those hours I spent playing Farming Simulator! Every 100 hours crossed just makes the guilty pleasure feel more guilty when I admit it.
Factorio. Which is why I am up far past my bedtime...
I just have a second username with no friends on it for my Being a DIK type games.
Now if they could also let me use my own api key to access my own profile without having to make it public. Or maybe just a sane Openid Connect implementation that actually does anything.
I don't know, and valve is lying if they say they do.
There are not naked ladies in my games
What about naked men?
Got em!
If you have some kind of niche fetish, Valve is the last company you should expect to keep it private.
Finally I can play Milf Story
I know, I shouldn't play payday 2... Friends forgive me!
This is a good feature.
Too late now 🤷🏻♂️
