A monopoly doesn't care about actions. There's only one place people think about when they think to purchase a game on PC. That means it's a monopoly. Sure, it's not a horrible situation, and they don't seem to be significantly exploiting their position, but that doesn't change that they have no real competition.
If we're going deep into the literal meaning of monopoly, the "mono" prefix means "one" but they have several legitimate competitors so that's simply untrue.
