You'd think these big companies would learn to anticipate these high loads and proactively increase capacity but hey
The Steam Store has gone down every time they do a major sale for over a decade or something. They don't care about these temporary problems, because they are just that, temporary. Increasing the server capacity for like an hour or something is just not worth it (most likely).
Also, it's not like the rest of the Steam network is affected when this happens. You can still play your games or download stuff at full speed.
I guess I forgot that companies don't give a shit about the consumer experience
