Apparently they are compatible with modern operating systems but I'm wondering to what degree and if the modded releases fans put together (The Sims 2 Starter Pack a prime example) are going to be better in some aspects.

Only the Sims 4 extra's that come with it. The legacy games you can play without Denuvo, and without the EA Launcher.
Steam DRM still applies, you can't play it without launching Steam.
It is worth noting that you can use things called Steam emulators to essentially remove Steam DRM. Very useful if you are in a situation where you want to play a low-spec game on an equally low-spec computer and either want to manually transfer the files to a different device or not have Steam launching. Goldberg is one of the most popular versions.
Kind of unrelated but some PC games on Steam also don't have Steam DRM despite appearing otherwise. Sometimes you just need to launch the executable. Here is a list of them.
