They've become an American Nintendo.
Once upon a time I would have agreed with you but nowadays I see a couple bullet holes in Nintendo's feet as well. And Valve is a bit less quick on the draw with their lawyers it seems.
They are both working in the self interest of their platform, which is where they make their money.
It just happens to be that Nintendo's platform is tied to hardware while Valve's platform isn't.
Nintendo's platform is tighter so shovelware gets more complaints there than on Steam.
unlike nintendo they at least don't say lawyers at literally anybody who happens to somehow think of their IPs in a way that slightly contradicts copyright
