All of these points seem to exist for the iOS App Store (apart from the Steam sales, but there are other advantages as well).
I think the takeaway is that on Windows there is a choice, and people (users and developers) actively choose Steam, whereas on iOS there just is not that choice. The market cannot exercise a preference.

For me the big difference is that using steam is a choice whereas using the app store is required. Developers use steam largely because they want to, not because they have to.
