>Does anyone know if Egypt even has trace steppe?
This is the only question that matters. If an IE people were ever in Egypt we would expect trace DNA. The Hyksos were supposedly expelled, so we shouldn't expect a lot, just a sign that they were there. Unfortunately I only know of two Egypt samples in G25. If anyone knows of more I can start testing them.

It does seem like trace steppe is in Egypt. It may have been mediated by those of Iranian origin.

>Spoke a non-IE language.
Irrelevant. This isn't the stone age. We can look at genetics. We just need more than two samples.
