Well they don't make the games so they couldn't really do that nor would game developers be very appreciative of that. But I see your point. There's nothing stopping you buying all your games on steam then making a copy of them elsewhere to play with a steam emulator if it goes tits up
"We're reducing our cut from 30% to 15% and introducing ads for players that don't want to pay."
Tada! Most devs would fall in line just like they don't mind releasing on Steam instead of other platforms that take a smaller cut just to have access to a bigger player pool.
