I must not, because I see zero difference between Steam and GoG in this regard other than the fact that Steam provides a bunch of side services that GoG does not. Otherwise they're both just selling you a revokable license to play a game.

That's why I said:
The context is that the person I was responding to said they use GOG because they 'own' the game, in response to someone else saying that there are games on Steam with zero DRM that you can also buy.
Frankly, with the 'availability' argument you also don't need Steam to play them and could copy them over to a PC that's never had Steam installed and play them as well.
