Sorry that Steam doesn't make this easier, but this is the easy way for techies. You should be comfortable with the filesystem on your PC and know basics of how to use the commandline, otherwise this guide isn't really meant for you. But whether you trust this tool or not is of course up to you alone. I don't think it would be on Github if it was malware. It should be safe to use, considering that it's open-source.
downloading older versions requires a third-party open-source tool called DepotDownloader. Steam doesn't make this easy or give any hint that this is possible, but you can revert most games back to older versions and play them without ever updating.
This post is long enough already and I don't feel like writing any more, so if something is unclear, just search for "Steam DepotDownloader" on google and in the Steam forums and you will find a lot about it already. I'm sure there's better guides already on how exactly to do this, but now I already typed all this. This is meant more to explain how it's possible, rather than a step-by-step guide. This can help you out when a feature of a game gets removed, but you updated already and want to revert back to an older version. I made this post to roughly explain how to download and play an old version of a game that you own on Steam.
