There are open source clients for Epic Games Store and GOG.COM, why not for Steam too?

Probably because Valve provides a native Linux client

And the client is actually good, too.

This is at least a main part of the reason. I use an open source client for GOG on Linux, the only reason why is because they don't natively support Linux.
