Ah ok.

I simply assumed it wouldn’t work because that’s the case with like 99% of steam games

That's because the vast majority of games implement DRM unfortunately, BG3 does not, Witcher doesn't either, any game that does not have any DRM can be played fine outside of Steam, tho there are not many.

DRMs are not Steam doing, it's game devs.
