1) It isn't a non-issue since Steam can arbitrarily decide not to process the refund. Only the time based returns are processed without intervention on their end so you're at the whim of some underpaid employee that might review your claim and decide 'This isn't a popular enough problem being reported' and deny your claim.
2) Again you're not really offering a positive argument about why 14 days is too long: you are just asserting modern games are short and probably take half that time on average to complete.
This is just describing modern games: this isn't asserting why this is a good thing or reasonable it's just describing that it is and henceforth, it cannot possibly be any other way and we should just adjust our expectations and our laws accordingly.
Sorry but that's just ridiculous to me: I grew up on a time where videogames actually used to provide weeks and even months worth of playtime for a person playing a handful of hours daily. We actually used to get a lot of content for our money. As games started getting more popular they also got flashier and prettier but actually less complex mechanically and story/plot-wise. This has slowly subverted your expectations to ridiculously low bars of value where resources are quite frankly wasted by publisher.
So are you sure you want to listen to publishers and side with them on this trends to encourage the ridiculously short window of just 2 hours? Because if it was up to them we wouldn't have single player games at all by now. We wouldn't even have any kind of writers or voice actors on the teams it would just be a bunch of artists coding neat looking stuff for you to pay microtransactions towards and the actual meat of the game is replaced by fucking nothing: Just a "sandbox" game with a bunch of stupid fucking towers for you to discover without any point or worst, just some random objectives for you to just shoot up players in a combat area.
Fuck the most popular games right now are battle royale: there's nothing done on the devs end other than saying 'here are some ground rules like you start without weapons and the map gets smaller, now go waste time'
I hope this paints a picture somehow and realize why pushback against anti-consumer laws and enforcement is always against your best interest.
Or they could, you know, release a high-end card that challenges 1080 performance without sounding like a vacuum, heating like a toaster and needing enough power to keep the lights on in Cleveland for a week.
