Why steam espresso is not as good as pump pressure

Why steam espresso is not as good as pump pressure because the pump pressure espresso squeezes the oil from the coffee beans much better than any steam espresso.

I have had a steam espresso maker before at my home but the quality of the coffee it makes is not as good, thus the taste is also bland because the steam is not strong enough to take the flavor out of the beans.

Upon trying out a pressure espresso, things became much clearer and the taste is definitely above my expectation.

The taste of the coffee is very strong and the true flavor of espresso is achieved.
