In the past Valve has been the top company for allowing people to make money off of their games. In fact, based on content and messaging they've put out I'd say that it's a core principle for them as a company.

I don't think we're seeing the whole picture here.

Yes, but they always charge for a license to allow you to profit with their tools. That's being skipped here.
