The thing is that Steam doesn't have a history of shutting down a significant fraction of games they have available by themselves. Hence people don't criticize them.

Also you can (not saying that you should, I personally don't trust Gabe) put some tust in a private owned company if you trust the owners.

In case of public companies they are forced by law and major shareholders into making shortsighted decisions and prioritizing profit only.
