For one it’s nice to have a way of managing/installing the sofware.

Try installing an older Linux native game from GOG, it’s a huge pain in the ass: ancient dependencies you have to install by hand, cryptic error messages, debugging controller support for every game separately. And good luck uninstalling.

Compare to Steam: you click “install”, wait a bit, click “play” and you are playing. uninstalling is also trivially easy
