I completely disagree. You still own the games in Steam, and you can download them forever as long as you have your account. It’s not like streaming services that can just remove stuff. I think you may not understand the difference.
I wouldn’t say you own games on Steam. You can’t install them without Steam, and usually you can’t even launch them without being connected to Steam. And you if lose your account, they are lost forever.
GOG on the other hand, you can absolutely download offline installers for you entire game collection and keep them somewhere safe in a hard drive from which you could still install them 10 years after GOG is dead. (and hopefully the games still work on newer hardware)

If I buy a game on Steam can I sell it to you? I remember when you could just buy a game and install it, now I need another program? Why?
Until one day Steam declares bankruptcy or some other BS that shuts it down.
There’s no fucking way. The internet will go down before steam goes belly up
