2: Valve added a feature to Steam as well. The notepad in the Steam overlay that people have actually been asking for.
The Music player was probably used so little that people who complained where most likely the ones who used it.
3: If games support crossplay they can communicate with other platforms. Steam itself is a closed system.
4: Steams DRM is more of a positive thing for me.
5: Every gaming client takes data from people.
6: Steam has nearly all of the games. GOG has a moderate selection of games.
Feel free to use GOG. No one is gonna stop you.
That's why Epic Games Store will eventually fail, and EA or Ubisoft returned to Steam. You need the 7 keys to open the locker, having just 3 (or 1 in the case of EGS) won't work.
I don't know why you even bother asking. If you wanted your mind changed you wouldn't have written up an essay comparing the two and always putting steam in a bad light. This is what you call 'already making your mind up'.
The only features taken away are a deprecated music player which you can easily replace with any, more powerful player with a lower overall resource footprint.
GOG's platform connection system has been broken for quite a while.
Steam's "Add a non-Steam game" function still works perfectly.
And here's this fallacy again. No, it really isn't. Any system that requires you to create an account to access your games (or game installers) is a form of DRM in and of itself. In addition to that, GOG has been silently backpedaling on their anti-DRM stance for years and there is an ever-lengthening list of DRM-ridden games sold on GOG.

Starting at section 4, they detail just how much they spy on you. Just like Steam.
GOG has been "angering fans" for years by:
You've been sperging on for quite a while now about GOG and now you claim to have never used it? Good job proving, finally and unequivocally, that you are a troll.
Fallacious challenge, as you're not here to discuss. You're here to rant and troll.
Do you like having artwork, screenshots, guides, workshop via community?
Do you like having some cross platform support?
Do you like having voice chat, group chat, and custom forums via community?
Do you like having option to be able to stream to friends without needing any other apps?
Do you like having couch mode support such as big picture?
Do you like having better filtering options via Store, or using any other feature via store?
Do you like trading, or market place via steam platform?
If no to all, then nothing matters, and don't see why anyone need to convince you for anything.
Fales, go actually look at the Steam library, and you know you can make custom collections, as well filter your library with filter settings, can also change artwork on your games, and custom banner. Yes you can add non-steam games to library, and customize how you want it by name, artwork, and banner, as well tag it for custom collections.
For Gog it is better for customize, but if you really good customize use playnite, it's gives you WAY more options to customize things better than GoG.
They haven't added anything new for couple years, go look it up, people still complaining about their library sync still breaks overtime, and they refuse to fix it.
Which features Steam taking away from you?
Gog library sync, does not mean you get to download, and play PlayStation that not how that works, if you don't believe me for whatever odd reason on this, go try lauching it, and see how it tells you to go use a playstation system.
Steam doesn't do library sync with other platforms, you can manually add them yourself if you want, but again like I said doesn't mean you play PlayStation games on PC like that. There people who make retro emulation connection on Steam if you didn't know that was possible.

GoG force DRM free.
Steam doesn't force that on game devs / publishers, they have the option to make their game DRM, or DRM free.

They both collect your data.... Steam store cater the data to what you buy on steam, what you wishlist, or what you play via Steam, Hence only via Steam. GoG collect data what you buy, and wishlist...
Yes, but Steam has actually have WAY more in terms of "tons of games" that's not understatement btw, go check the game count, and you know what I mean...
Gog only makes minimum effort to running the game as long they were given permission to make changes, other wise they won't do anything to it, but either way afterwards they don't care if they don't want to play it later. Go check games that still need 3rd party patches, or mods...
Steam doesn't touch what game dev / publisher games full stop, but they do make effort to support linux community aka the FANS you might have ignore, using proton which is fork of Wine, and is manage by Valve / Steam. There another fork of proton call Proton GE manage by the community, and Steam support it, and gives option to using it as well.
Now this is over windows 7 support being dropped, and Steam has it own right to choose to support, or not support it, same thing with Gog with their client, if they choose to update their client same with Steam, then that means no windows 7 support either for you again via client. But you can still download games by using a web broswer AS LONG it is supporting security protocol to connect to their website, if that stop working, or no broswer for Windows 7 no longer has security protocol needed then you're locked out completely overall go fig, and this is long term we're talking.
Sure it might be good option for you if your goal is to stick to one OS for LIFE, then only go for DRM free offline installers, and retail standalone games.
Gog not only store there Zoom platform as well.

currently i experinced system degrading moving into the steam platform some things need adjusted to get the most out of your gaming experience.
Do i dislike steam? no more then i dislike the other platforms.
I will say steam does have a forum which lets users voice opinion about the product and platform, within reason
while most of the other 3rd party gaming sights do not have a user community that allows users to communicate.
I'm quite content using all of them.
