If you want EA Play on Steam, you must subscribe to it on Steam.

Is EA Play available on other platforms?
Yes! EA Play is available for PC via Steam or Origin as well as on Xbox One and PlayStation®4. Please note: while EA Play is available on multiple platforms your membership is tied to the platform you joined on. If you joined on Steam, your Play List, member discount, and all other benefits will only be available here.

FAQ section is at the bottom. https://store.steampowered.com/subscriptions/ea

Because EA didn't want you to.

Probably more to do with Valve wanting their fair sure. Wouldn't be fair to Valve if EA could sell it on their site and then have Steam bear all the costs of downloading and managing it without ever paying steam a penny

For the same reason if you buy games on Origin you don't get a license to use it on Steam.

In general buying stuff at one stores doesn't give you carte blanche to involve other random stores or platforms you'd like. I wouldn't expect that to change any time soon either.
