Nintendo sent them a DMCA takedown request for the Dolphin Steam page. So I don't think we can blame Steam for wanting to stay out of legal trouble

No. That is not at all what happened. No DMCA takedown notice was ever sent in this.

What happened is that Dolphin applied to go on Steam and announced that. Then Valve emailed Nintendo asking for permission. Nintendo said they didn't want it on the store, pointed to parts of the DMCA which were not actually valid for a theoretical case, and Valve blocked Dolphin from going on Steam

You're right.

Sorry, I just heard somewhere Nintendo sent a DMCA notice and assumed it was right because that seems like a Nintendo thing to do.
