I'd argue Nintendo is less behind and more that Steam has been stupidly ahead of pretty much all other app stores for awhile now. I mean what other store has an entire section[0] dedicated to defiling you're programs integrity in a way that would make your average walled garden security user cry?

Not sure you can call Workshop as "defiling" anything, developers need to enable that and integrate it into their games, it's not like traditional mods that sometimes hook into the game engine from the outside without official game devs doing something to support it.
