Because it doesn’t want to ruin your drive everytime you open it. So instead of scanning whole drive for file sizes, it reads registers. Which calculation can be broken for some games. There are trousands of posts with Valorant taking plenty TBs.

Pretty sure the app system just includes any game on any drive installed by steam, no?

isn’t it because steam points at /G and you filter your space by /C?
maybe there some meta game files stored on /C like replays, saves etc?

Your windows screenshot is your c drive, the steam screenshot is the g drive.

If you want a more accurate reading of what’s taking up space, I recommend using the program WinDirStat.

Because it’s very dumb when calculating size. Steam (generally) installs games in a library folder in it’s parent directory. This means the size of games is included in the install size of Steam.
