Unfortunately, as long as all these storefronts sell mere subscriptions, players would suffer if any of them closes. Hence, players would benefit greatly from a monopoly that is too big too fail, since it prevents them losing games every few years when another steam/epic competitor closes doors.

Or just DRM free games that can run without a launcher.

Since a monopoly launcher can hold your entire game library hostage if they so choose.
