If it's actual ownership instead of availability, then according to GOG's own EULA, you don't own the games there either.

Wouldn't even matter anyway. If either service dies the games are gone unless you go through the hassle of manually backing up every single one - which you can do with the majority of games on Steam too.

"You know what I am talking about colloquially"

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.

"I'm right and you're wrong". Colloquially, of course.
