it was a rational decision. Every developer knows what they are giving up by being a EGS exclusive, so they price in that opportunity cost into their EGS pay package. They were not even complaining about it in the quote, they simply said "we hope people find our game here" which could be them just being diplomatic. Eventually the exclusive window will end, and they will have a steam release announcement.

I don't like EGS exclusives, but I don't ever think a developer is stupid for taking the money.
