It's funny how they keep actively pushing normal people towards, rather than away from, piracy (or copyright infringement).
From a certain angle it could be seen that they're backing people into a corner from which the only escape is piracy, and once the convenience of that apple has been tasted, it's difficult to go back to the sub-standard service provision and heavy usage restrictions of the 'legitimate' world.

They had a secret though and that was to not being shitty to their customers. And that even though Gabe Newell and consorts got a lot of shit from parts of the gaming community at first. There is not a single example where any company replicated something like that, it always has been corporate enshittificated bloatware. With the exception of GOG for DRM-free titles. I doubt the companies listed in the article can achieve anything like that.
