Besides, is there a linear way to differentiate between “couch devs” and “full time devs” over the internet? How would steam even know? With a checkbox?

Couch devs won’t typically fork out a few grand to get their game on steam because they fear they won’t make even that money back. Pro devs would.
I think your assumption that hobby developers automatically output bad quality is ignorant. Doing this as a hobby won’t necessarily change the quality of their game, it will just take longer to reach said quality because they’re not spending as much time on it weekly.

lmao so you are going spend anywhere between 10-20 years working on the same game?
