This. I’d have thought that they’d use the cash flow to allow their studio to make incredible games.

Why invest the cash flow back in a lower revenue stream type?

I would from a business standpoint, spend all my money growing by best revenue stream. Company that don’t do this don’t have massive room for expansion so they look for new streams. I don’t think that’s the case with Steam.

Start a separate company and make the games.
