If man is happy with this game being free to access, why no steam version? like one up to date with the public version, would be nice for deck/pc players to have it auto update n cloud saves.
Honey select and Honey select 2 and similar similar graphics are prohibited in Steam (or Steam will not allow such games, because of copyright and stuff if I'm not mistaken)

Eternum is made using the HoneySelect2 software, which is in itself a game. It's basically a very modded version of HS2.
Putting Eternum on Steam would be akin to make a mod for Cyberpunk 2077 and try to sell the modded game as a stand-alone game. Since you can't do that, Cari cannot put Eternum on Steam.

Unfortunately, that is not possible since he's using Honey Select for the game. The ToS for HS specifically prohibits profiting from content made with it. With Patreon, you can circumvent that in the sense that people are not buying Eternum, but supporting the dev in making whatever he chooses (which happens to be Eternum). But with Steam, that's a no-go, since he's literally selling the game for profit. And thus he would be violating the Honey Select ToS.

I mean as the free public version, not selling it. Surely both Patreon and Steam count as the same style of distribution

No, I don't think they do. I'm pretty sure that he can't publish on Steam if it's made with HS, though I'm not 100% sure. You'd need to contact Caribdis himself for further clarification, though.

How many other HS games have you seen on Steam?

Apparently this is not the same person? The name Gwen sounds familiar, and so does the way she looks. I must have forgotten something
