I used to feel a bit sad about the 30% but then I learned you get stream keys for your games for free, which makes it seem a lot more reasonable.

You have to ask steam for the keys and they can deny them. I'm sure they only refuse to give the keys if they find out you are reselling them or giving out way too many, but I still don't like that they get to decide what "way too many" is here

Because they still have to foot the bill for the infrastructure that you use your free keys on.
