It helps that Valve is privately owned and thus less likely to chase growth over other things.
Hopefully when the current owners age out the new leadership will continue as it is.

There are plenty of companies who already run or could run a competitor to steam, and slowly they could eat their lunch. Epic Game Store bought exclusives and gives away coupons to bolster their market share. IF everyone starts burning cash for market share, Valve will have to figure out a new way to compete.
Until then its sort of business like normal.
