For indie developer you got itch.io... then the void.

How this is Valve fault? You can't blame a company in both direction for the same argument, you have to pick a side for your criticism.

Valve was accused to allow all sort of shovelware by indie developers... then you got the competition like GoG that say: " sure, we will have store curation: we will give indie developers the discipline that Valve won't "

How things gone for GoG in the indie sphere? You remember any indie recently booming on GoG... Because surely can name few on both Steam and itch.io.

There are different types of monopoly: the one that attempt Epic by using bribe money just so everyone come to their Battle Royale... and one you get because all the companies around you ignore what customers and business (indie Dev) wants: a democratic platform like itch.io (in which Valve is closer with its approach)
