It's not a question. It's a moot point whether Steve would have wanted him here, because nobody would. It's something he's come to terms with, being the person who is always barging in, being too loud and obnoxious and pissing everyone else off. And Cath, she is easy to deal with. She is uncomplicated, and everything Steve knows and likes, maybe the only chunk of his past that isn't drenched in tragedy. Nobody has to deal with Cath the way they have to deal with Danny, and he knows that and he gets it, but he's never been anything but abrasive, yelling at the world that never listens to him.
It isn't something to add to the equation, it's a theoretical that doesn't exist.
And if he thought Steve had...
Well, he didn't. Because he doesn't. Because they looked fine and perfectly comfortable without him and he was only going to ruin that dynamic, probably quickly and conclusively.
