Leading Dot (or dot-files) is not just a thing in most file explorers, its a unix convention. Every File Explorer and even terminal will not list those files unless a certain switch is set (-a).
I wish Linux would quit hiding things that don’t need to be hidden. For example, your Steam directory should not be hidden, but it usually is. Hidden directories should be reserved only for things that can fuck up your system if you modify them.

Neat, I didn’t know that it’s a Unix thing

You refer to the default steam library? That’s on Steam though where they’ve decided to put it. The actual installation sits neatly in /usr/lib/steam
