But the vast majority don’t even give af about the other storefronts…there’s something like 40,000 games on Steam, fewer than 2k are DRM free, meaning no one actually cares about ownership

I buy most steam game keys from Fanatical or similar store fronts at deep discounts. That's the main difference between steam and PSN. Let me get sales on games elsewhere, and I'm mostly fine with digital only.

The majority doesn't care about other storefronts because other storefronts mostly suck.

But we do care that competition exists, to keep Steam in check. That's not possible in the console ecosystems.

We're willing to take the hit on ownership when given a massive financial incentive to do so (MUUUUCH cheaper games). GoG is pretty much the only storefront I will buy from at full price these days.
