It is not that difficult to scrape Steam data using SteamKit, right? I build a website around Steam data a couple of years ago, with a small scraper app which was hourly scraping new updates (using SteamKit) and putting it into my database.
The biggest advantage that SteamDB has, is that it has a ton of historical data. That is not retrievable from the Steam Network, so the only way to have gotten historical data is to start early.
My website is now defunct for a year, but I've kept the scraper running. I now have 7 years of historical data in my database.
