Yup, why do the dev work for other stores when steam accounts for 99% of sales.

Other storefronts sometimes pay for exclusivity. And Valve don't restrict you from selling on other platforms, so why not?

Also because a monopoly is always a bad thing. Valve need to know that if they fuck up, there are 100 other storefronts out there waiting to pounce.
