Sometimes there are changes in your filesystem (example: You copy some stuff on your usb stick.). After this your system should rewrite the index-file (head) of your file-system.
It's like a phone book with adresses. The adress is the coordinate of your file. Your file manager is like 'google maps' where you can move to this adress or in real life you walk with a printed map to this location and where you can find something. (read, write)
Sometimes there can occours unpretty situations (bugs). You've written a file to your usb stick but the system could not write the adress where you can find it due of energy loss. In most cases the information where to find your copied files are gone away. It's like you are searching for a needle in a haystack if you want to recover those data. (similiar to forensic work. t's not like a simple delete (> rm ...) of a file which you can easy undone by recovering tools.).
Which filesystem are you using? The variety of filesystems having different solutions to prevent a loss of data.
I think the filesystem went broken because of power-cut, and because it was Steam that was modifying it (i.e. writing update files) at that time, you lost Steam's files and not others. It doesn't look like a Steam-specific problem.
My assumption was that the system hadn't booted and was halted by the BIOS which was wrong. My guess too was that Steam was in the middle of an update and had to reinstall from scratch somehow losing my games too. Perhaps the update that was being installed also moved games.
I could see this being a problem for Steam Machines. Maybe they will have a better recovery system in the future.
What can you do? Not shutting down while Steam is doing something. If you're paranoid, always exit steam before you shut down the OS. That's tiring though...
SIGKILL is like the silver bullet. It kills a process immediately.
SIGTERM allows the process to ignore termination-request or to call functions to terminate the process in a clean way (such as saving the state of files or cleaning up temporary files).

You have to press and hold the power button for ten seconds to switch off the PSU, sometimes needed on Windows machines when an errant process hangs and prevents a safe shutdown.
