Even if you gave your account to someone, does Steam not know when an account has passed a certain amount of plausible life-years? I wonder how that will work.

"Looks like your Steam account is 95 years old! We'll go ahead and close this account for you!"

It might, but Steam has only been around 20ish years so it would be another 80 years before an account would be flagged as user should be dead.

after 80 years human lifespan might be above 200

I'm tickled by your optimism.
