Isn’t the DRM provided by Steam optional? Like, the developer/publisher is the one ultimately in control of whether or not its used. And plenty of games on Steam do not use it.
Oh yeah i forgot about that, but even that if your game relies on steamworks multiplayer you cannot go online(though can be solved)
And in my opinion the DRM on steam is not the worst I have seen (only keep the Steam client open as opposed to having Internet always for example)
Sometimes though the DRM can be circumvented by swapping the engine,using spacewars game(which requires the Steam client),etc

The percentage that do not use DRM on Steam is insignificant, around 4%. That leaves 96% that do use DRM.
Yes and it’s also opt-in.
