Okay, but explain how consumer preferences are somehow Steam's fault?

If you told me it was that way because Steam was boosting AAA games and suppressing indie titles, then okay, you have a valid reason to criticize Steam for that, but that doesn't seem to be the case.

    Valve is a for profit company, they make money by advertising games and selling them, their website is literally an ad shelf.

    doesn’t seem to be the case.

    It seem the case to me that they are advertising the shit out of certain games with ads as big as the entire screen.
