Same here. I can play South Park: Stick of Truth on Steam, but to play South Park: Fractured But Whole, it has to be on Uplay. I wasn't going to buy it because of that, but then I got it as a gift anyway. I could handle Steam and GOG Galaxy as game aggregation programs, and sometimes check out Humble for bargain bin stuff, but after being forced to install Uplay to access the content, it would appear that three stores is my limit. Uplay, Origin, et al, with their platform-exclusive titles, can all suck it. If I need a library to manage my games libraries, I might as well put all the games in the top-level library in the first place.
They are removing themselves from even the possibility that I might think about buying. I just don't shop there. If I can't find something that interests me on Steam, GOG, or Humble, I stop looking. And I also didn't really appreciate the constant upsell for SP:FBW DRM, and other Ubisoft titles, while I was still playing. They pulled out from Steam to not pay the "Steam tax", but they didn't lower their prices to compensate; they just made the "Steam tax" into the "Ubi tax". If consumers still have to pay it no matter where they go, they don't really have any incentive to shop at a different store.
