I imagine it's because of the few indie devs out there trying to both exploit the ea program, as well as tossing out deliberately cobbled together games, as well as games designed to have you mine for them. Fortunately for us, Steam has given us said tools t filter out these games and prevent us from seeing them again, something which no other client does unfortunately. 

Yep. I get that money talks, but in this instance, two weeks from the game's launch (and on a featureless client in 2019), there's no good feeling from it at all.

Oh I can get that, it's why I've now decided to just not buy the game at all. i'm not and should not be expected to pay the same price upon launch a whole year later on Steam, and I'm not going to install a client that lacks many features and is seemingly buggy enough already ( as well as not having a proper offline mode).

These devs doing this are largely just doing it for themselves, while tossing around blanket statements about "giving us choice" and "for us". The thing is, they aren't, it's just about the money, because if they truly stuck to "all the money earned goes towards bigger and better games", then we'd surely start seeing massive ramp ups in quality over the next 5 years, but when I look at all the indie devs out there, I can only count a few fingers on my hand for those that have actually used all their money and skills to really craft some bigger, more polished games, with the rest having used it on more early access garbage.
