So is it not weird that there’s no like, beams or poles or other support extending downwards from the bottom of the stairboards? I’d be nervous about somehow punching through the stairs with my big fat rear end, as happened above. Do stairs not need bottom support?

Lots of stairs are installed like that and have no issues after decades of use. Personally, I don't like them and this winter when building my basement and main stairs I build semi-load bearing walls on either side and fastened the stringers to them.

Better overbuilt than under.
