I'm all for duologue, but there is a voting system, its very accessible more so than typing. Don't you think this is a bit short sited and in reverse should people avoid voting in general good and bad?

downvoting is a form of expression, to label downvoting as disrespectful based on a narrow definition limits freedom of expression and overlooks the nuances. im a democratic socialist so voting is important to me.

Value is personal, I for one want a game, I dont want a bloated web browser that only connects through steam, which is what the steam client is. All the thing I need steam to do I can do and I can do it in a more agnostic way and less bloated. I use wayland therefore steam does not run without xwayland support enabled and even when enabled I can't stream my desktop over steam remote.

Can't use remote play and have an open source implementation that has fine tuning controls.
Installing mods through third party tools or manually is easy enough and allows for multiple distributors.
Dont use vr and even so its a closed ecosystem.
More than happy to visit steam in my own browser to buy and download games if that was possible.
Dont care for skins, cards, or any of the inventory system.
I talk to friends through open source solutions.

If you do however want a streaming, mod manager, vr, forum, store front, download manager, DRM and much more in one bloated application then yes the value proposition is there.

I highly value diy solutions in software, you on the other hand may not. And this is fine. GOG offers more to me than to you as steam offers less for me than for you.

all of the things you have listed are things we as individuals can and have implemented without steam, theyre pretty good like adding code to wine and pushing linux to the larger audience and i myself have been on steam for 11 years with 320 games, but integrated modding? i mean we had mod managers before steams implementation.

game streaming we have moonlite and shunshine > for amd hosts, and theres more.

input remapping can be done through standalone applications i use sc-controller for remapping my steam controller.

id say steams vr client is more of a negative than a positive, leads to segmentation and issues with device support when we should of focused on a wide approach to vr. like what google did with android, funded a free and open eco-system>(less so now)

steam sells accessibility and DRM, personally i see this as a bad thing. force people to become dependent. and while gog isnt natively on linux there are work around like downloading from gog.com or installing heroic games launcher.

In 2018 a group of Valve staff tried to figure out just how efficient they were being—and found they were making more money per head than Apple, Facebook, and nearly every tech giant out there

I donated some spindles of burned media and programs to Salvation Army expecting they'd throw 'em out. They're selling 'em for $3.

No I wouldn't either and the place was a dive but the meat wasn't being sold for the pub to serve, police went in there trying to sell to anyone that would buy, the land lady just happened to be the one interested in buying the stollen meat
