Will probably require uPlay/Ubisoft Connect launcher anyway
Exactly. Who cares if it's on steam if you have to have uplay installed and open anyway
Convenience for Steam Deck and Linux players
And login everytime you want to play, because they're to incomplete to save a login.
It's for security! If someone who isn't you is able to sit down at your computer, bypass your OS login, and launch the game without us asking for your game account password, they'll be able to do unspeakable damage to your game's save file! They might even finish the game for you!
Valve cares because now they'll get a cut
A code for the game on Steam? They still get their cut
I’m no expert in the matter but from what I gather here Steam Keys and in other comments around the web, Valve allows free key “generation” for resale in other stores.
They certainly will.
