Technically Steam isn't a monopoly by actual definition.

What you, and others often mean with the term, is that they hold a majority market position.

    Not to mention the companies that have legal decisions declaring they are a monopoly when they are only 80%+ of a market are in the context of those companies (Microsoft, google) behaving in an anticompetitive way using their majority market position.

    So not technically a monopoly and not comparable to legally declared monopolies.
