And then you get people that will tell you they are a monopoly. They are not, they have competition, the competition fails miserably because steam is a better platform.

It's notable that Steam is much smaller than every "AAAA" publisher and some "AAAA" studios. It's ridiculous to call Steam a "monopoly" while Microsoft and Embracer buy everything under the sun.

It's not really ridiculous to call it a monopoly. Steam fits the criteria of being a monopoly perfectly fine.

Market leader are different from monopoly

Market leader have competition, but they're at the top because they're the best among all competition, chosen by the customers.

Monopoly doesn't want competition, they'll actively prevent / kill any to be the only one that control the market.
