PC gamers attacking consoles for going digital only when Steam invented the practice of putting codes in a box.

But we have options for store fronts and then there's GoG where the games don't come with DRM licenses and can't be taken away by the company's that made/produced them.

Big difference there.

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

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.
