U mean a company that is famous for making tools and hiring devs with their ideas and helping them to make games does what they are actually good at?

Look at it this way:

CS is the mod to Half-life

Portal is the college project or some sort of prototype (I don't remember correctly)

L4d is the mod to cs

Dota is the mod to war3

Dota underlords is same

Their only new in house game in past ten years is actually Artifact and it got bullied by media instead of actually giving a good feedback.

So, they just do what they always did - they support games they currently enjoying playing

Portal is the college project or some sort of prototype

It was a game designed in college but commercially published (by the college digipen) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Narbacular_Drop

Also Portal 2 gets its gel mechanics from Tag : the Power of Paint, another Digipen student project.
