Who said anything resembling “they’re not a monopoly because they’re ethical and I like Steam.”?

...but they not a monopoly... At least while Gabe is still alive, they’ve been relatively ethical.

Friend, I don't know what more you could want. That's... pretty similar.

They didn't say they don't have a monopoly because they are ethical. They said they don't have a monopoly and also that they are ethical.

The fact that you have to cherry pick and misrepresent context to try and save face is pretty pathetic TBH.
