Your example has the step function disappearing during steady-state.
DC steady-state has no Fourier transform since omega equals zero. A
Fourier analysis requires a recurring function of the sum of sinusoids
involving integer multiples of omega*time. Your single step does not
recur so your conclusions are invalid.
