Of course the Steam numbers aren't the complete picture; however, they are the only real set of statistics we have to work with.

The thing is man, nobody outside of GGG or Tencent actually has any work to do with these numbers. Nobody on these forums is "working" with this data - they're just using them to argue with each other about who knows best what the community of PoE2 players wants from the game.

But, regardless of which side is "right" on any given day (it's usually neither if you're curious), the only power to actually do anything about any of it rests with GGG and they have far more data than any of us ever of us could ever dream and a team of experienced data scientists whose entire job it is to analyze every bit and byte of data we send their way to figure out what makes us tick (or tock).

None of us are ever going to look at the incomplete data we have and come to some conclusion that helps GGG make the game better -- because whatever data you think you have, they had it days or weeks before you did and with a lot more detail and I promise you they don't need your help to figure out what it means.

They don't have to argue or speculate or guess about the things we do. They know exactly how many negative reviews came in on 0.2 from accounts with very few hours played, or how many positive reviews came in on 0.1 with very few hours played. They know how many players reviewed the game positively and then stopped playing, or how many reviewed it negatively but continued to play for 6+ hours a day. They can look at the last thing that happened to you before you logged off for the day and get an idea of what makes people "call it for the night." They can look at what happens on the evenings when people have unusually long sessions to see what makes people "stick around for one more map." They can even look at what happened to people in the hours leading up to a MTX purchase to see what makes people feel so good about the game that they're willing to support them financially.

When GGG talks about using "player feedback" during Early Access to tune and balance the game, they're not really talking about these forums, or reddit, or even YouTubers or streamers. They do care about all of those sources and they pay attention to them, but compared to the wealth of information they are gathering from just watching us play it all becomes trivial - just like the arguments on this forum.

If you really want to know more about the "complete picture" then my advice is to just pay attention to what GGG is doing. If they're making decisions that don't seem consistent with what you think players want, that probably means that what players are doing is indicating that your assumptions about what they want might not be as accurate as you think.
