That's all?

considering that Valve as a private company have no incentive (and to my knowledge haven't) to release sales or revenue numbers publicly these numbers have to be taken with I giant grain of salt.

But yes I expected more myself TBH 

im pretty sure its higher, but its also one digital retailer. There are another three major DD services that I can think of. Then there is retail which doesn't really sell many copies anymore. Also is this worldwide numbers or just one region?

Steam maybe only one but for full games it is by far the largest, with some reports (probably outdated) I have read, estimated that steam was bigger than all other competitors combined.

At least in America digital holds just over half of the revenue from PC game sales so retail is still around the same size as digital at least in the USA. On the other hand Paradox interactive have reported that digital makes up 70% of their sales, so Digital is probably a larger % in Europe ETC. But they also have a few digital only games so that number is probably a bit high.
