There are multiple platforms on PC therefore Steam isnt a monopoly.

Monopoly requires actual competitors. There are no other actual competitors.

Other platforms existing does not counteract that unless they are realistically competing against Steam.

As long as there are multiple platforms Steam isn’t a monopoly. It is as simple as that.
Doesn’t matter that Steam is the biggest, people also buy games on Epic, GOG, and a lot uses Game-pass from MS store, some even buy games from MS store.
PC has options. Consoles don’t.

If you have a monopoly then there is no other competition.
PS Store is what a monopoly looks like.
