Interesting,
I don't have this problem, while i have one game from your list (Turnip boy)

I see that I have the same thing going on
It seems that for some reason the packages we activated with our keys now include demos
https://steamdb.info/sub/13515/apps/
https://steamdb.info/sub/242/apps/
Why that would happen for several different and unrelated games, I have no idea.

I kinda imagined that. But this seem to affect many unrelated games and the update history doesn't show adding a 2nd app anywhere. In fact your two examples were last updated the same day more than 8 years ago.
Also, if I had an app added, I should be able to remove it. But, I can't. I can't install it either. And, if I remember well, demos disappear when uninstalled. Using "download" on the demo on the product page still wants to install the full app. I'm ludicrously befuddled.

They probably just added the demos to the base game sub(s) you already own. At least for these 3 it can be verified in SteamDB, although the additions don't seem to be recent:
DEFCON Beta demo
Sorry, James demo
Wordle demo
This one is not in any base game sub in SteamDB (yet):
Turnip Boy Commits Tax Evasion demo
Maybe Steam is changing the way demos are treated in the library?
Edit: found another one:

Maybe SDB needs some time for updating.
Curiously for DEFCON I have sub 242. If I go to that sub in SteamDB, it says I have both the game and demo. But if I go to https://steamdb.info/sub/156/apps/ for sub 156, which has both the game and the demo, it shows that I only have the game and not the demo.

The weird thing is: I also own some of the other games mentioned in this thread, but I didn't suddenly get their demos as well. For example Between the Stars, Blue Fire, Cyberhook (https://www.steamgifts.com/go/comment/7Yy16oE).

I haven't noted which ones, but I've got a good dozen demos that have appeared during the day too.

Today I noticed I have five new entries in my library, in the "without category" category:
DEFCON Beta demo
Sorry, James demo
Turnip Boy Commits Tax Evasion demo
Wordle demo
All these are demos for games I have. If I try to install one, it installs the game, not the demo. In the list of activations, they don't appear. Going to support and searching for them tells me I don't have them in my library. But there they are.
Edit: if in Steam support it says I don't have them in my library, it means I can't ask for the game to be removed. In no place, in no way can I ask about it to Steam. So as Lyselfia did, the only solution is to hide them. It's silly but bugs me to have games hidden because
The MatrixSteam had a glitch.Update: now the DEFCON demo appears on my activation list, so I can remove it. I hope the rest of the demos will slowly appear. It's not anything big or worrysome, but imagine if the glitch was that 700 games with demos told the users that they have the demos but not the game they paid for. Update on the update removing the demo from the activation list still doesn't remove the game from my Steam client...
Anyone having the same oddity?
