Steam being the most ethical and practical choice is not a monopoly.

These devs aren't lining up to release their games on the Epic store or itch.io, they want their games on the marketplace where most of the users shop, and the users aren't locked into steam either, they just prefer it.

Devs want to release their game on as many platforms as possible, but your game is always somewhere in the steam ecosystem in the backend.
