From the opinion piece:

Last year, I pointed out how many big publishers came crawlin' back to Steam after trying their own things: EA, Activision, Microsoft. This year, for the first time ever, two Blizzard games released on Steam: Overwatch and Diablo 4.

That doesn't mean Steam doesn't abuse its power. Because they sure do.

How? By being a good company? Look at the Google Play Store lawsuit, and why were they sued, any why they lost. Steam is not abusing it's position. And if you think they do, gimme an example or two please.

Steam has several lawsuits and class actions over their head:

Wolfire Games VS Valve
The Bucher Law class action suit (probably a scam as most CLAs, but comes with a huge PDF with all the allegations)
And if you go to https://dockets.justia.com/ you will find a lot of action against Valve.
