So Steam protects you from scam games, publishers not honouring refunds, and hackers? And they're pushing for bans on shovelware and games with mandatory ads?

Broooo, Gaben! I bow to you and your team!

Gabe doesn't run Valve anymore, he's off exploring the ocean in his fleet of yachts. Apparently he hasn't stepped foot on land for over 2 years.

He does though, he's still the head of the company and calls the shots

Just because he's still technically the CEO doesn't mean he's "running" it. He's trained his replacement for when he dies/retires, and that dude is running it, and if anything that actually needs Gabe's input, he will of course give it. Just because you're the head doesn't mean you do anything. Look at Musk, "CEO" of 5 or so companies, yet sits on Twitter posting slop all day.
