I'm not Gabe #1 fan but neither his hater, but I think that this is a little different. Amazon and specially Facebook markets depends on your information, while Valve's depends on what gamers buy (between other things that I don't know) but I don't really thing that Valve care that much about stealing or sharing your info, they really care about how many money they can suck from you.

they collect everything about you
The comment wasn't comparing the companies, but the CEOs. Gabe doesn't care about Steam users anymore than Zuck cares about Facebook and Instagram users.
Gamers are just biased because of how appealing Steam is with its sales and vast catalog.
