I'm all for rulings against anti competition, but what does valve do that's actually anti-competitive? They're the most user focused storefront out there.

Are they stating AAA games have increased in cost because of this? I've noticed a lot of new games are $70 to $100+, but I've associated those with shitty companies being greedy.

Yeah I'm at a loss for why valv is at fault here. The dev sets the price of the game. If the game is only available on steam, well that's the devs choice too.

Had a nosey further into this, I was assuming its backed by epic or something like that although nothing obvious jumps out.

There's a list of FAQs on the website too, most of which are demonstrably false, which makes me very curious as to why this random person feels they speak for me, which they don't, and what backing they have here. All very strange.
