Where the hell are you getting your numbers? Everything I see says that Steam made a record 16 billion in 2025 while PC gaming as a whole made 43 billion. That would put Steam somewhere around 27% of the PC market.

I think the 75% number may be accurate specifically for PC game distribution, not PC game revenue. 75% is the number Gemini gives as Steams's/Valve's market share when Googled.

If that's the case, free to play games like Fortnite wouldn’t even count despite competing for the same wallets and play time as pay to play games. This also completely ignores the installed base of EGS but that is the second important thing when judging a monopoly.
In a hypothetical scenario where 100 million people have both Steam and EGS installed and fully set up and then 75 million of those people choose to buy where they get better value for their money, Steam would not have a monopoly in this case because all 100 million people have both stores installed and set up. Linking Steam and Epic accounts is possible since many years and there are no hurdles at online matchmaking between Steam and EGS users – Epic themselves provide proof for that in their delisted Steam version of Rocket League.
