Everyone is very focussed on the 30pct. But there are multiple points in the claim. Price clauses and such.

Used /r/gamedeals and isthereanydeals a long time so not even sure how effective the price clauses are when I've gotten so many deals for games on my preferred platform for a lower price.

Me2.. I mostly buy outside steam. But that is not the issue at hand. If a dominant company is thought to abuse their position, it should be investigated.

And over the last years several indie devs have said there are some narly contract clauses.
