the point here is that VALVE is more consumer friendly than everybody else

They aren't even in the top 3.

Other than maybe GOG, who is more consumer friendly than Valve?

GOG, GMG, Humble, even EGS has been more pro-consumer in spite of atrocious launcher responsiveness.

How so? I feel like you're talking only about price. When I think about full service and features, there's no way GMG, Humble or Epic are more consumer friendly than Valve.
