I thought about that and realized they have a good reason. If they didn't do that, people would use Steam as a storefront to find games and then buy them on a different platform.
So if this wasn't in place, Steam would be unable to make money.
That being said, the indie developers could just set the game price to the same everywhere when they want to make a discount (which is what most do)
