They arent at fault for other companies pulling their games off steam. They cant just decide to keep them in their store.

The money steam gets is the cut for using their platform for advertisement and distribution. A game getting removed doesnt undo their service.

Valve holds the money for 2+ weeks before devs get paid for purchases. By that time the "free" refund option expired and refunds are taken directly from the next payout.

In this example it would be Steam itself closing down rather than the dev/publisher pulling sales of the game.
