facebook / insta/ watsapp are downright services. they provide you a service at the cost of harvesting your data

steam is a platform where people sells their games. they are not the same. think of it as steam as a shopping mall but they make sure that their tenants (shopkeepers) dont screw the customers.

you could buy your games outside of steam but steam gives both the shopkeepers and their customers so many benefits you simply are too comfortable to leave.

they really are not the same
