I may be misremembering but don't some steam games have no drm? KSP1 and Ultrakill come to mind, are they still on a licence like games with drm?

You are right - https://www.pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/The_Big_List_of_DRM-Free_Games_on_Steam.

My main arguement though was that it's not like your steam library is yours without restrictions. You're agreeing to Steams terms and services and there are lots of ways they can prevent you from playing (most) games you "own".
