As someone who switched from console to PC, the experience is night and day =w=
Every time I think about replaying a game I have on console I end up thinking "ehhh, but I don't want to deal with not having all the features I want, and booting up the console/noise" etc. If I want to replay something waiting for a steam sale and buying it again unironically feels more worth it, than playing the copy I own and dealing with all the limitations
With GOG you'd even own your copy.
I just like steam for convenience tbh. I know buying from something like gog would be better in terms of ownership of media, but steam offers a lot of stuff I use on a daily basis at this point and it's hard to give that up =w=
Plus steam DRM is easy to remove if you want a drm-less copy. I keep backups of old versions of my games playable this way
