Steam workshop doesnt gives us any advantage. You won't be able to use these assets as they are not made to work in Blender as is so you would need to create an entire new section in there just for Blender, then fill it up by the community which in majority don't use Blender through Steam and don't want to do so.
And before that; You will have to make links between Blender and Steam workshop, which would require quite a lot of work and I guess also have some issues on the licence & FOSS principles sides.

For what it's worth, there are already quite a few add-ons that provide this functionality, depending on the kinds of assets you want.

Could you please post more than just a link to a Steam Workshop ressource site?
This forum is for proposals that are more fleshed out than just a link to a feature in a different software.
Either way Steam is also a proprietary plattform and by far not the most common way to redistribute, install or manage Blender. As such, a feature like this should definitely be a plugin and not a standard Blender feature.
