Steam: Good featureset, good Linux support, large library, probably going to be around in 10 years.

GOG: Offline installers, some explicitly DRM-free stuff, much easier to avoid unwanted updates of games, no need for a launcher.

Matrix: Specialized niche wargaming stuff, some physical media, can avoid unwanted updates, no need for a launcher.

What does Epic bring to the table?

Every additional store I deal with brings some hassle, and especially for online stuff, if it goes away, so do my games.

    Matrix Games. They're a publisher that specialize in wargames that I frequent to get some of my more-serious milsims from (though availability has improved on Steam). They also run an online store. The above three stores are the only places that I've bought video games for a long time. Well...tries to remember actually, I did get a few things on itch.io, and IIRC I bought Starsector directly from the company that makes that.
