Main reason for me is that I have bought humble bundles, donated to gamejams, and gotten keys off of legit and grey-market sites in the past in conjunction with buying directly from Steam. Those aren't included in the Steam spend category.

The tool doesn’t know how much you paid for it, though, so it's completely ignoring sales, donations and in app purchases, and just applies a price to it.
