I imagine that even if steam's competitors did actually compete with steam instead of complaining, customers would not want to re-buy their games or have more than a couple of library apps on their devices. It's an uphill battle in several ways, but they also aren't trying to compete.

Everyone else is dogshit anyway.

Make a good product I'll give you my money.

I hated steamed when it came out with a passion and they did a great job of winning everyone over and making a wonderful platform I actually want to spend money on.

I'd be willing to try if they rebought all the games in my library. Would be a massive boost for the developers, and I wouldn't have to bet my dollars on if the platform will exist 5 years later. But I don't think even Fortnite is that lucrative.

Of course people wouldnt and shouldnt need to rebuy their games on the same platform. The platform is PC, not steam or epic or ubischrott or whatever. Epic had and has enough time to build up their launcher and make it something people want to use, but they chose not to. They chose to make it a console war on PC and for all intents and purposes they can suck a fat old dick for their exclusivity-on-the-same-fucking-platform-bullshit.
