1 month ago Should vertical monitors be ignored by Steam if there are more than 1 monitors, would this be a possible solution?

I would say, no. It should honor the "primary" monitor setting of your desktop compositor. OR let you choose in steam own settings primary monitor to launch games in.
(then again, for me it has always worked in Plasma + Wayland. Had previously issues in XFCE + X11)

4 weeks ago I worked around this issue by running xrandr --output DP-1 --primary to set my primary monitor for X apps.
Maybe this is a KDE bug and it should be setting the X primary monitor even when KDE is running in wayland mode? Not sure whose responsibility this is.

4 weeks ago I wish X/Wayland/KDE/other WMs had a concept of not only "primary monitor" but also "entertainment monitor", for video and gaming.
Your system information
Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:
In a triple monitor setup, Steam detects the leftmost monitor as the primary display and opens all content (start splash, fullscreen games, big picture mode, etc.) on that monitor, instead of the actual primary display set in KDE Plasma settings. I only started experiencing this issue recently, after returning from a 3 week vacation, but it was working correctly in June.
Plasma monitor configuration, center screen is set as highest priority:
(expand) Steam system information, note that the display detected is the leftmost 1080p 24 inch vertical display, rather than the other two 4k 144hz horizontal displays.
