We need to address the elephant in the room. HIDDEN GAMES
Steam needs to address the issue with "Hidden Games" much better. There's lots of mature games which some people would rather not show to family or friends.

Currently hidden games are simply only hidden from the main library. However even with Family view on and password locking all the hidden games from my library. The moment I share my library with "Family Share". IT SHARES EVERYTHING?!!! Imagine the look on your wife's or kids face when they get your 18+ rated games in their library because you have family share enabled on multiple devices. Why are hidden games behind the password lock (Family View) still shared to Family shared devices?

Another problem is this. Achievements. If you play a hidden game, the achievements will still show up in your profile unless you turn off achievements in your profile all together. I don't want my 18+ games to share achievements to my friends and family.

And finally. If you are playing a hidden game but you forget to sign out of chat or you have Discord minimized. It will literally show up as "Now playing "X" rated game" and everybody can see what you are playing. Steam needs to work on this.

Family View should be set up on the child's account that borrows the library, not the account sharing the library.
