Valve controls the PC market because they created the PC market and are responsible for the overwhelming majority of its progress. And they have done nothing remotely abusive with it.

They've justified their cut and are fully entitled to it.

    They are entitled to a fair cut of sales through their platform. That's how platforms work.
