Even if Steam was slower, it's a better platform. When I go to a game's store page on Steam I learn literally everything about it. Literally everything I need to know. Because there's user reviews. Because there's a link to the forums.

EGS doesn't have user input. They don't even include as many vids/screenshots. It's all very low effort and I have to go elsewhere to figure things out about the product.
