Steam really hasn't done anything different in a long time, not anything massive. They still have their business model, which they obviously love.

See: Microsoft.

Imagine having a market almost entirely captured only to shill AI products that no one cares about and including them into your OS. Imagine selling operating systems and still including advertisements in them.
