From the opinion piece:

Last year, I pointed out how many big publishers came crawlin' back to Steam after trying their own things: EA, Activision, Microsoft. This year, for the first time ever, two Blizzard games released on Steam: Overwatch and Diablo 4.

Steam doesn't allow games to be cheaper elsewhere if they want to also sell on Steam.

How does that work when there is the humble bundle store, and IsThereAnyDeal with a shit ton of stores almost always cheaper than Steam?

Don't they sell Steam keys? Maybe the rules are different in this case.

They do but some sell direct downloads along with Steam Keys.
