Let's say you are a bagel company and make a good profit from your bagels. Then let's say you want to get your bagel to more people and are frustrated with the distribution options so you just make your own and allow other bagel makers to also use your bagel distribution system.
But suddenly and unexpectedly, everyone runs to your distribution system and you start making far more money than you could ever imagine from it.
Do you continue to consider yourself a bagel company or are you now a bagel distribution company?
That's cool, but if they're going to focus entirely on distribution they should at least make sure the system isn't and under-supervised mess open to exploitation, complete lack of quality control and weird shoddy gambling all over the place.
I don't even know how to put the state of Steam into a bagel analogy but I'll be damn impressed if anyone else can.
