If I understand correctly it will allow players to input their hardware and fps for games. So unlikely, and even for not modified hardware it will be just an estimation based on what users say.

Why do you think it is based on manual input? It would make a lot more sense if the Steam software detected the framerate automatically while you are playing.

It would be nice if its both (drop down with default to the best guess of your hardware).

No longer would you have to believe nvidia or amd, you can lookup real numbers from existing players. They will need to account for fsr and dlss so fake frames are taken into account but it could be a nice tool for planning hardware updates.
