If steam did allow transfers this way, I can imagine it being a new type scam where people fabricate death documents to steal steam accounts.

Life Pro Tip: Register an LLC to buy your steam games under. The LLC will never die and you can transfer ownership of the business entity while it retains control of the steam account.

I kind of want one anyway. Is there a real reason I shouldn’t do this?

The issue is that steam (like the other stores except gog) doesnt sell games, they sell licenses.
