"browser and steam" already is going to pull in a huge, huge subset of the functionality included in full Windows. Google has slowly piled huge amounts of stuff into Chrome like support for MIDI, and Steam embeds a bunch of stuff too and has weird features you might not know about (for example, a media player with custom playlist support) Another thing is that many games rely on older APIs and libraries that are bundled into Windows for compatibility reasons, so if you strip those out to make a slim gaming windows, your games won't work.
