Steam is basically a PC gaming monopoly, so why isn’t anyone mad?

"preemptively mad" got a chuckle out of me, yeah it's premature to say that we should get big angy at Steam.
The word we should be looking for is "Critical." Valve is a huge company, they are not saints, and we should treat them with skepticism as a matter of course. But that doesn't mean they don't do positive, thankless work for consumers too (in the form of Proton, Linux support, etc).
