Steam is entrenched with PC gaming to the point of no return. The only thing that can take them down is themselves. 

What if EA,  UBISOFT,  ACTIVISION, SONY, MICROSOFT,  TAKE 2 NINTENDO etc all team up and launch their own steam where they share the 30% cut they previously had to give 
. You're right that STEAM looks untouchable but sony did sony in the TV market once and Nokia with phones. 

That's like if DC, Marvel, Dark Horse etc. made a joint comic venture series. This is virtually impossible because of the revenue cut between them gets arguments. Sony wouldn't care, they're leader. Nintendo wouldn't; they don't even port their stuff to anything else 99% of the time. You can get rid of a phone/TV. People aren't gonna give up a 1000 game collection.

That 1000 game collection will be pretty irrelevant if almost every new AAA release was on another platform. If it meant the publishers could get some of the 30% cut to STEAM they might do it.
