I think their goal is simply to force enough of it deeper underground that legit distributors (Steam, package managers, etc) won’t touch it and normal people will give up and buy the hardware instead of jumping through an increasing number of hoops to emulate.

They can’t stop it, but they can make it a frustrating end-user experience, and that’ll be enough to put a lot of people off.
