Its an idealogical thing- we don't need steam for our livelihood but most game dev's do.

I'm assuming that indie dev's don't want to be treated like this but maybe most all of their backs are already broken and they just take being treated like that? 0_0

Linking to a mental health help article as a response is very bad taste. When you disagree on HN, it is supposed to lead to discussions, not this

I don't believe trying to shame or "neg" other developers is an appropriate thing, so I do not intend it to be a positive taste

If I see abusive approaches, I will call it out, this time I called it out with an article listing the ramifications on others, of such approaches

Why ask a question if you don't care about the answer.
