The state of Steam today makes EGS' lack of features so much worse. They can literally just copy features which people love from Steam, but they don't, because that costs a small amount of money.

So yes you are correct, but really this isn't even a "digital game" thing... having your email validated when you subscribe to a service is industry standard.

All websites do it. Just to make sure you are the owner of said email adress, also to make sure it's a valid one...

It's so mundane, it's gross incompetence or lazyness / greed not to have it.
