No way, a program that basically does nothing, runs faster than a fucking behemoth of features?

Steam is a games store, and library, with reviews from users and creators, built in mod support, built in streaming. Built-in entire god damn social network with dedicated discussion forums for each game, community hub, communication platform for developers, social features with everything from chatting, group chatting, video streaming, voice chat, ad choc game invites/joining, guides... I probably forgot like 100 features.

Meanwhile Epic Games Store, which launched 8 years ago still does not support a fucking cart, so you can check out more than one product at a time. Navigating the store, checking out various DLCs for one game is so fucking annoying that I remember getting a free game on Epic, playing it and liking enough that I considered to buy a DLC... but it was so ass to use, I just went to Steam and purchase it again just to get the DLC there, it had a discount too.

The level of detachment from reality it's just pissing me off. Like, Pepsi can poke fun at Coke, they're basically the same thing, despite Coke being the "bigger brand". If Pepsi was selling fucking dirty pot hole water in a can an trying to compare themselves to Coke, that's kind of how EGS taking shots at Steam sounds like.

EGS has a cart. I know the bar is low but it does.

These people dont care if it does or doesnt have a cart. They'll hate the other game launcher for whatever reason they can remember, facts or logical reasoning be damned.

Nintendo also hasnt had a cart for the switch 1 or 2, and that shit is never brought up for obvious reasons.
