Those is literally about valve being anticompetitive. How are you mentally twisting this into being Ubisoft being the bad guy here for selling their own product.
Steam is artificially keeping prices higher with this practice. Their larger cut % keeps the price floor high, because valve is threatening these developers to not lower prices on lower cut % stores (that don't use valve infrastructure or keys). There's zero leg to stand on claiming steam is lowering prices with this well known policy.
