DRM is added by the developers/publishers not by GOG, tho.

Same thing applies to Steam. You don’t need to use the Steam DRM if you don’t want to, it gets added by the developers/publishers. There are plenty of DRM-free games on Steam

No thats not true. You need to have steam installed and be logged into an account to play a steam game, always.
