Why no good online card & board games for sale on here like on Console?

PS4 and Xbox has Monopoly, Life, Scrabble, Sorry, Spades, Hearts, Gin. But there's not anything on steam. Why doesn't any company makes games like this anymore for pc?

Like I said Classic good online game. None of those are it. Monopoly and life are the only games listed there that would count but, neither are ONLINE. The others aren't classic.
I have many that are for windows 3.1 and windows 95 which don't run on new computers.
Examples of games I'm looking for

Whose definition of classic? Catan and many of those are classic games. Tabletop games got a lot better over the last 15 years. You asked for good online card and board games. These are good online board and card games. :D

Tabletop simulator allows you to play all of these games and much more because people have created the mod's for them. Of course finding players can be difficult for games, especially for something like Monopoly, but there are dedicated forums and groups for such.

The time frame for classic is 20+ years old

I understand what you mean -- you're looking for traditional card/board games -- but that argument is not an appropriate reply, because "classic" doesn't carry a timeframe (definition #5)[en.wiktionary.org]. Unless you want to say that you are only interested in games the Romans knew about (definition #4).

If you're looking for PC implementations of traditional board/card games, I suggest you check out Hoyle's Official Book of Games[en.wikipedia.org].

The reason you don't see many games on Steam for this is because these are more commonly relatively simple games that are probably the domain of flash games and mobile apps these days. It's just not profitable, nor even creatively unique to justify spending time and effort making implementations of them for the "hardcore" market. That's not to say these classic games aren't good. They are. But Steam is still largely seen as a digital distributor of PC games for that hardcore market, and I think people who make such games don't much bother trying to get them here for that reason.

I would think it would be profitable since they have them on consoles. It's like the makers of those games left out the pc players :(
