If water boils at 100°C, and boiling is the process of turning liquid into gas, why are bathrooms full of steam when showering at only 40°C?

I think you misunderstand the difference between “steam” and “warm mist”
Steam is water in a completely gaseous state. It cannot be seen. If you “see” steam you are actually seeing the gaseous water cool back into droplets. On the other hand the “steam” in your shower is not actually steam but it is aerosolized droplets of water suspended in the air. Its just warm mist!
