apologies for poor picture, was redownloading ETS2 and the speed is baffling to look at. What causes steam’s download speed to be horrendous?

Steam has some wonkiness going on with download speeds. Your computer is doing multiple operations, so it's going to be bottlenecked by stuff other than the network, but either Steam has some wonky bandwidth limiting per client set up on their CDN or their servers are just constantly being hammered (possibly both).
Steam does not have per-client bandwidth limiting. They will fill whatever pipe you give them.
