Did you jsut compare an open applicatipn along the lines of "i can have it run if i want to, I can have it not run," to a locked down, mandatory, universal, "you're stuck with this pile of shit no matter what, I have no choice" type of services? There are so many problems with your logic, that I would feel bad to point them all out.
Also do you know that you can play games in offline mode as well? As in, not connected to steam?
