Didn't they add the option to make games private because people made this complaint? The issue now is on family accounts and not seeing it, because there you still can. I don't need to know what my family is into, thank you very much.

Where is the option for that on steam because I haven't seen it the last time I looked through my steam settings

It's per game.

Right click a game (or press Start in BigPicture/GamingMode), select Properties. Go to the Privacy tab, and there you can hide the game from everywhere but yourself. The game will only be visible in your own library when logged in, and people won't see you playing that game when you run it (you appear Online but not playing anything, your nickname in friends list remains blue). You also make the game invisible in your profile, both on the main page with the play time and on the full games list.

You can also do it before purchase, now every time you put a game in the cart you are asked if you wanna make it remain public or hide it.

You can also just do right click->manage->mark as private
