I respect both gog and steam, but for very different reasons.
Gog is built on no DRM and providing unadulterated access to games which is great since it means that they have very little avenues to screw you if they turn into a bad actor.
On the other hand I don't care too much for the storefront that steam provides since it gives them far more ways to screw you, what actually has my respect is their integration with their server infrastructure, I admire that game developers basically just have to have their game on steam to take advantage of it, which even with the likes of epic and amazon has not been done well.
Overall though both of them are great from the very superficial standpoint of they are some of the last remaining tech companies that still put their customers first which is incredibly rare nowadays.
