Steamdb[1] gives some info on concurrent players, but only estimates for owners. Looks like they estimate number of reviewers between 5-15%.

5-15% is in line with for example anecdotally observed view count vs votes on videos on YouTube.

So based on that I am not surprised that video games on Steam can be expected to have a similar number of reviews relative to number of owners.

Typically I expect a video on YouTube to have about 10% votes and about 1% comments.

Do all reviews on Steam need to include text or can simple thumbs up/down be given without any text? Haven't used Steam in a while so I don't remember.

yes, you have to write a text for the review to count. I just looked into the reviews for this game and there are actually 30 reviews, but apparently not every review counts towards the statline on the main page (not exactly sure which).

Steamdb uses 1.5-5% not 5-15%.
