It's less about digital version than open market. For physical games several vendors are in competition, slowing the enshitification and inflation while digital version are exclusive to sony/microslop/nintendo allowing them absurd prices and practices. On pc it's different, little games are exclusive to steam, there's also gog, itch.io, epic... Furthermore, enshitification and inflation are slowed by piracy and community. Yes the domination of steam must be worrying but they also empower players, remember when sony tried to force it's account on helldivers. So yes, steam is different than console store, lots of problems but still better.
