I wonder how many people still get games "unofficially" with steam games having so many sales as well as all the third party keys floating around as well
Oh, there are quite a few examples!
For instance, retro players have gathered their entire collection of games mostly on discs and DVDs. However, these physical formats are not everlasting and hard to organize, so they're searching for a solution to preserve their games from deterioration and create a convenient way to play them. Building their very own "steam" just for this purpose.
True, disc rot is a real concern
There's lots of EA games in particular that can't be bought on PC anymore. The old Tony Hawk Underground and Tiger Woods Golf games are probably the best examples I can think of.
