I have steam installed on my desktop computer. Do I want to install it on my laptop? No. If I buy a game from retail, I should be able to play the game without adware on my laptop.

If you feel so strongly about it, don't buy the Steamworks game and email and tell the publisher why. If enough people do it, then publishers will move away from Steamworks. Frankly though, it offers so much to both the publisher and, most importantly, the customer, that a minor, practically irrelevant complaint like yours is just going to be ignored.
