He's addressing the problem with your hypothesis that "native games on the web will disrupt Steam" by pointing out that you're comparing apples (a technology platform) and oranges (a distribution channel). Steam doesn't exist because games don't use WASM.

There's all that stuff on other platforms. Reddit subreddit indie games would be neat if I could just open the post and play the game.

I can't imagine I'd use Steam much after that. (And I guess facebook would do the same.)

As for payments, I already pay mostly through Google pay or through paypal. Steam isn't adding a huge amount of value.

What other platforms offer all that stuff? Because I've been looking and nothing comes even close.
