Steam is basically a PC gaming monopoly, so why isn’t anyone mad?

From video gaming to card games and stuff in between, if it's gaming you can probably discuss it here!

MODERATORS
The other contenders mostly are bad.
Drm-free still exists.
They provide a lot of value without charging the end user very much.
Microsoft could have done this except they're run by idiots and assholes. Nothing technical stopped them from launching a good store platform. They just didn't want to.
At least a few of them moderate their forums and reviews. Steam doesn't and that's why it's full of bigots and fascists.
Do the other ones have forums? I don't remember even seeing them.
Is the steam forum supposed to be moderated by valve or the developer? I always assumed the developer.
GOG does, yeah. itch.io has comments under projects. I know EA has forums. Not sure about the others.
Edit: If it's for a game, yeah, the developer. However Steam's own forums aren't moderated at all or well. Full of nazis and other scum.
