...What? Microsoft seems incapable of threatening Steam in any way that wouldn't cause monopoly accusations - and probably consequences as well. The main threat to Steam is Gaben's eventual retirement, which could really shake things up and have unforeseen consequences.

Microsoft has been accused of having a monopoly for decades, because they've had a monopoly for decades.  It doesn't stop them at all.  They still do whatever they want.  Do you remember Netscape?  I do.

Well, Microsoft did get consequences for how they handled browsers... And clearly something seems to be stopping Microsoft from acting against Steam, because they haven't done so and have in fact continued releasing their own games on Steam with no end in sight.
