Steam is incredibly good at returning hacked accounts. A personal experience of mine: I was hanging with a friend and it turned out he had clicked a disguised link that led to his account being hacked. He got that account back before the day was over with, and without many issues other than a single game ban (that he just hasn't bothered to see about getting lifted)

Steam is incredibly good at returning hacked accounts.

Eh, most of these gaming companies are good at returning hacked accounts. I had my EA account hacked a few years back and was able to get it back through their customer support live chat in like 5 minutes. I also had the same experience with Rockstar when my Rockstar account got hijacked from some Russian.

I think the meme is referring to a recent post where steam support made a joke in regards to banning someone. The idea that other companies can't or won't help you recover your account is bogus, though.
