Could you elaborate? Steam is a negative and Microsoft Store is a positive experience?

They probably mean it's annoying to be forced to get the EPIC store or battle.net just for the 1-2 interesting games that are not on Steam.

Correct. But at the same time GP is right that without the freedom to have alternative "app stores" on Windows, Steam couldn't exist.

"forced" is a strong word when some of these games could have not existed or be delayed for a few years without EPIC's money, and you still get the choice to just not play them at all (it's a game, not a CAD tool mandated by a client)
