It's debatable whether this belongs in the Steam Deck community, but these are all high profile games, and having to login with additional online accounts is a significant barrier to play on the Deck.

Don't forget they did the same exact play when Helldivers released. They didn't have it in at first, put it in, and took it back out.

This means they will continuously try and try to make this the norm. I see a lot of comments talking about buying the games now, and I just want to reiterate that they will try this exact same thing again after a few months to even a year or two. Don't get complacent.

Tbf, didn't helldivers have it right at launch but the overwhelming popularity crashed the servers so they nixed it. Then they tried to re-add it and the community revolted and they made it optional permanently?

Yup. I like to think that was the catalyst for this current event.
