They're praising Steam's actions, but there's no indication that they're responsible for them.
The only group responsible for Steam's actions is Valve. This goes for every decision on the platform regardless of who people who like the platform want to shift the blame onto so they can keep it okay in their mind to like the platform. Valve and Valve alone is responsible for this and for not curating the dredges of shit on their platform and for distributing a "client" that is a woefully out of date web browser full of known exploits and a shitty AIM clone with retarded censors and a number of half baked features like broken ass 2FA and a non-functioning forums. The only people responsible for fucking with these developers' livelihoods are Valve and the people who support them by buying games on Steam. If you don't like the idea of people whose games you like getting taken to the bank for 30% of sales, being disallowed from selling for cheaper elsewhere by the most stringent exclusive sales contract in the business, being given the runaround for pre-approval vetting of games only to have them discarded at a whim, and being buried in trash to be undiscoverable not to mention requiring steam's shitty DRM ridden client to pay for and download, your recourse is to stop giving money to Valve for it's service and its games.
