They repeat and rephrase questions in contexts like this to look for consistency/coherence in your responses. And because some people interpret questions differently.

GOG was concerned that I might be developing feelings for Steam and needed to check on the state of our relationship.

:/
I've been in an closed focus group once, and you would not believe how weird questions can be when they come from an out of touch marketing department in a billion dollar company...
"If there's any GOG in the room it should manifest physically right now"
It's a personality test with a hint of project managers wanting to know which areas of GOG they should focus on.
A warning that it's really fucking long would have been nice.
Gog is a Czech company, right? Could it be a translation issue? Maybe an AI-written survey that was then translated? I don't understand those questions either. I do know, however, that some "serious" surveys intentionally repeat questions with slightly different wordings in order to tease out nuance or detect how mutable a given opinion is (or whether the surgery-taker is paying attention?). Can't say whether that's the case here, of course; as you said, they're weird questions.
The question "I like that GOG curates its catalogue based on the capricious whims of the CCP" is strangely absent from the survey.
I think that last question makes sense. Facebook for example just changes their AI on the regular for no apparent reason and doesn't care about feedback. Youtube will introduce new rules for monetization and will treat their content creators badly because they have nowhere else to go - or so they are made to believe. So, that question is valid.
The first one though... no idea what they're going for. The first part seems like they' asking "when you think about buying games, is the first though 'I'll get it on GOG'". Most people think about Steam or a PC when buying games or gaming in general. But that second part... no fathom.
Don't forget the hidden question to make sure that you are paying attention.
Any question about Linux or Steam Machine/Deck support?
