This is essentially how the modern day computer works today - with the CPU, a microprocessor chip inside the computer, working in tandem with an embedded memory chip and a number of fast (preferably high speed) peripheral devices running on dedicated bus lines to the rest of the computer. The CPU is basically a very tiny computer inside a much larger machine.

The easiest way to stop auto-launching of Steam application on Mac is to remove it from its login items program list, which is set in a user account level, meaning that if you own multiple user accounts on a Mac then you would have to repeat this procedure for every user on that Mac.

There are third party add-ons that you can buy for your Mac that will allow you to bypass Steam, at least while you are still using your Mac. These add-ons are not free of charge, and there is typically an amount of money that you have to pay out before the add-on starts working. If you are willing to pay for this kind of add-on then I recommend that you use it because it will protect you from possible future security issues associated with Steam. To get started, you simply have to download an Add-On manager for Steam and install it on your Mac before you are going to be able to run Steam application on your Mac again.
