GOG's market share being around 1% compared to Steam's 80% only proves the point that no amount of great features or love by gamers is enough to challenge the monopoly.
That's because for the vast majority of gamers their games aren't on GOG. From the top 50 sellers on Steam only Rimworld, Baldurs Gate 3, No Man's Sky, Tainted Grail and Kerbal Space Program are sold on GOG. 90% of the top sellers on Steam aren't on GOG. GOG has a lot of great features but when GOG doesn't have the games people want to spend money on there's very little reason for those people to use GOG.
