It is however time consuming boilerplate code that isn't interesting to write. I imagine as the demand for language bindings grows they may release something. If they make their header files publicly available someone will make an interop project. C++/cli interop isn’t hard. It is however time consuming boilerplate code that isn’t interesting to write.

You can still interop with steamworks, XNA still uses D3D.. As for XNA framework based games, there are already some sold via steam, I just don't think they have the steamworks integration.

I like making games in C# and XNA -- the only thing that doesn't seem to be there is online awareness of stuff like leaderboards and achievements - it would be rad to have those available, and Steam has a nice system for doing that sort of thing.

I know for a fact that a few XNA games are already available on Steam such as Blueberry Garden and Lucidity. This also just means the Steamworks stuff isn’t there.
