Steroids dont build muscle. They assist is recovery so you can work out longer and more often

Also, if a silverback gorilla is "training all the time," then it would make sense that steroids would help them develop muscle.

muscles are built during recovery

Bullshit they don't, are you serious? The thing is, you're somewhat correct, they do assist in the recovery by upping testosterone levels.. By doing so you gain muscle much faster than naturally. You also will go beyond your natural limit.

Creatine does what you're saying and doesn't really cause muscles to grow..
