But I was already planning on leaving mine to my son.

What Stream support have sent that person is probably an accurate representation of what happens when you apply their policies as written. Write another article if they are seen enforcing it.

Luckily, SteamDRM is usually easy to bypass, so if that happens one could prepare accordingly.

It's unlikely that would survive a lawsuit. If they claim the games have value, as evidenced by then having a price, then that value can be transferred.
