Hello Vontracht,
First of all, thank you for your support and your Day 1 purchase of our game.
To your question: Since the Epic Game Store and Steam are two different stores, you unfortunately cannot transfer the game to Steam.
I hope I could help you.

Can you the additional Captain's Edition content on Epic if already have the game there?

Guys, IMO you shouldn't buy Epic exclusives because this rewards Epic for strong arming gamers. You should have the free choice to buy from the store you choose. Epic should EARN our business, not FORCE our hand. (Really IMO you shouldn't buy from Epic at all since they engage in this gamer-hostile behavior.)

Depends literally on the developer and/or publisher.
Being different stores doesn't matter, as the store doesn't hand out the game they don't own the ip, it's just a platform to sell the right to use it.
Kickstarters and etc, literally do the same thing, but for much more platforms than just 2, some only let you choose one to milk more money, some just want to give people more options in terms where or when they can play it if they happen to have multiple hardware.
Fallout 76 allowed a brief window of time for me to get a free steam copy of the game, when I had before bought it on Epic Store.

CD project red even does it with their games in gog and steam.

But like I said, it's up to the devs/pub in terms if they want the money or making peeps happy.

I got bored buying ubisoft games on day one and then rebuying on steam, so I'll just wait till the games come to steam and get super cheap ultimate editions. I just changed my mindset that any other platform where the release is before steam, they are the beta testers of the game, and I get a better game (maybe) and as a bonus cheaper (maybe).
