Games on steam are the same really, once you buy them you own a perpetual license to play them and once you download them on your physical device, they are there forever, unless you delete them. If you think about it, not downloading them and then complaining they are gone is kind of on the user, since physical disks and cartridges offer less access to games since they are gone if you lose them, but you can download a game from the portal again.
If they delete any game I care about I won't have issues because the downloaded version is stored in my HDD. That is my disk space that I own and I hold the perpetual license to play that game, it's the same as a physical game.
