I do own the games I bought from GOG, not the ones I licenced from Steam.

You can't legally donate, resell or share the games you bought from both companies.

You don't own your games.

Oh, I don't care about what's legal. At least with GOG there's no DRM so it can't physically stop me doing what I want with them.

Many Steam games don't have DRM either. Just no nice installers like with GOG. Ones which have Steam launch requirement can be launched without it via Steam Emulators or custom SteamAPI.dll

You don't even own the ones on disk you own a license to play the game.
