I don't think blaming Steam for society's ills is a valid response.

That's not what we're doing. Not giving steam a pass for doing the same bad shit that you hate other companies for doing isn't putting society's ills into steam. It's just not being hypocritical.

Nobody said steam was better because of their EULA, so calling Steam out for something every developer on the planet does is what's hypocritical.
