Name and email are useful for network admins to know what user is responsible for what process and location is used for timezone configuration. Autofill information can be get from the browser. What is next, systemd asking for credit card and full address?
There are jurisdictions where Steam has to explicitly ask every time you open an age-gated page, that’s why they do it and haven’t stored it before. That’ll presumably not change.
