There are plenty of games that are entirely DRM free and can be played straight from the EXE.

Steam Workshop is a massive value add. The premise that it's not is a joke. Not every game has a community that distributes mods that way, but it's by far the easiest way to add mods, and the people who value steam for Workshop absolutely have nothing at all to do with extracting profit.
