They can. Do they? Statistically?

  If I am a person interested in this specific thing (backing up my games) I would for sure check. Wouldn't you?

    I would but since there's no way to know before buying, all games on Steam need to be treated as having DRM and not supporting backups.

      There's also no way to know after buying. Games you own and have installed can be automatically updated in the background with new DRM.
