The fact is is that all 3 console manufacturers charge monthly subscriptions for you to play games you bought with anyone outside of your room. (Nintendo Switch Online, Playstation Plus, Xbox Live).
Guess how much I have to pay Steam every month to play games in my $3000 library with my friends across the country? (A: nothing!)
Don't forget, even if you bought the games, it's entirely up to their discretion whether or not to take away those games if they feel like it.
I have games in my Steam library the publisher removed from the store some time ago so they could sell remakes.
Everyone else sucks and Gabe Newell knows it.
