Valve is working really hard though?
Their focus just isn't on making new games, they're almost entirely focused on the platform.
Their games are now the side hustle.
It's a company. They realized they make platforms even better than games and capitalized on that. I see no issue with that. Moreover, they were working on Source 2, HL: Alyx and Counter Strike 2 recently, which I would say is immense work for a company, even more so considering their very humble employee count (compared to direct competitors, e.g. Epic)
They still put a lot of work into Dota and it's surrounding events as well.
