Exclusivity has been a thing since the advent of videogames, this isn't anything new. Epic is just a shitty company, so they're an easy target to criticize. They funded the development and published the game, it's their right to do with it as they please. They're losing money by not bringing it to Steam, so their loss, really. But it's not even close to the equivalent of console exclusives, as the barrier here is spending 5 minutes to just download their shitty launcher. It sucks, but this really isn't that big of a deal, in my opinion.
