Forgive my ignorance, and I might come off as snobby.

I see itch.io referenced often as an alternate game store but all I see on there are games that are super amateurish like a few notches above 2000s flash games. Am I not looking hard enough or are people happy playing those kinds of games?

Everyone can upload their game to itch, so there are a lot of bad games, and some very good ones.

I really haven’t used it much myself, but as the other commenter mentioned, since anyone can upload I’m not surprised there’s a large amount of mediocre content. So far I’ve felt like that’s a platform where you need to go in knowing what you’re looking for. But, if Steam were ever to disappear or become irrelevant, they’d certainly be in a position to pick up some of the market.
