You can buy it from their website DRM free, why would you want to buy it from Steam anyway?

Steam: buy, download, and updates for me. Easier and more convenient than even piracy by design.

Steam integrates with your package manager?

If it was on steam then your one purchase would allow you to play it on both windows and Linux.
