They have a huge marketshare, but I don't see how they have a monopoly. For example, some of the largest games in the world don't go through Steam (Fortnite, Overwatch, LoL) and the indie scene outside of Steam is popular and successful through DRM free or 3rd party sources such as GoG, Humble, and itch.io. I can download a .exe from a publisher's website if I really want to. How is that "almost ... a monopoly"?
