Add shader pre caching, add support for it on windows and enable it for games such as The Last of us part 1 and other games that build shaders, i gladly share my shader data with others to safe their time.

Steam > Settings > Shader Pre-Caching

New feature: Shader Pre-Caching. Whenever possible, depending on hardware and driver support, Steam can download pre-compiled shaders for your specific video card. This reduces load times and in-game stuttering during the first few launches of OpenGL- and Vulkan-based games on supported hardware. This feature may use a small amount of additional bandwidth as Steam uploads and analyzes a shader usage report after each run of the game. The feature can be disabled via a new entry in the Settings dialog.

What about directx12 shaders ? :)
not to mention shader pre caching for vulkan is not active on windows currently, while many vulkan games do exist.
