There's a HUGE difference between a platform having optional DRM and a platform being DRM. Also it's not opt-out, it's opt-in, so by default games don't have it, if they do it's because someone on the game studio decided to add it, Valve does not force it or even encourage it, they just have it available.

It's very unfair to say "Steam is DRM", and a more accurate description is what I used "Steam has optional DRM".
