Comment on GOG when available, but what should I choose between PS5 physical and Steam when not?

And the Steam client may be proprietary, but no mechanism prevents you from copying it around or using it, other than requiring login data, which stores like GOG also require?

Because the Steam client is required to download them.

How is that any more DRM than GOG requiring you to use their website to download games from them?

Because you don’t need to install their website on your computer

I don’t get what that has to do with DRM. For example, I need to have a package manager installed to install packages. Doesn’t mean the package manager is DRM.
