Its the way of the future. Having a strong eco system is what makes Steam successful.
UWP is still in its early days however Steam was no different at launch. In fact at launch Steam sucked. I had such a hard time trying to get Half Life 2 working on it. It wasn't pretty.
I always collect my PC games on Steam however there have been occasions where Win Store earnt my money. Games like Snake Pass for example is play anywhere and i couldnt resist the value there.
Alot of gamers seem to choose to hate UWP or Win10 however through actual experience games like Gears 4, Horizon 3, Ori and Halo Wars 2 all work great and better if your PC is more powerful than a X1.
Like everything that's new, people hate change. Time will tell if it works out. I gave a chance 14 years ago and look where it is now.

My hate on W10 comes from the fact that even though all drivers showed as working fine and compatible I lost webcam, microphone, sometimes auto hard reset and several other minor issues "for free" on upgrading from W8 to W10.
