Steps seem to be far more specific than, say, distance. And all the data suggests incorporating walking into your daily life is better than sitting around all day and compensating with visits for the gym, so the people you mock are arguably right.

It's notably effective, and should be done in combination with a healthy amount of walking: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/25844882/ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/25844882/ If you only do one or the other you are effectively trying to p-hack your way to health, as these are likely highly associated datasets. Those who live long are likely to be doing both and living a so-called healthy lifestyle.
