I'm guessing one of the reasons it's not in Steam is that it depends on Java to run? I don't recall every having a Java based game on Steam

Can't see a problem with Java on Steam as long as you bundle the runtime and not depend on linking to it

It would be very very arbitrary of Steam to bar a game based on the language it’s written on.
