It's a nice, cheap, easy and legal way of obtaining the ROMs to play on flash carts, emulators and FPGA systems.

I mean. An RPi and a retropie image is nice, cheap, and easy and it gives much more than a Steam bundle. Plus the legality of paying Steam for a bundled version is - tenuous, at best. Most of those companies haven't existed for decades and it's not like the authors are getting royalties anyway.
