One of these two entities actually lets me own my games. To where I can install them from local files even without an internet connection. One of these entities leases me games that I can install with an internet connection as long as they see fit. They are not the same.
Learning that steam may delist a game if its offered by another store for cheaper has definitely soured my opinion of them. GOG should make a native installer though.
That only applies if you’re selling Steam keys in the other store. If you sell access via other means (like direct download), you can price them however you want. Hence, thousands of itch.io games that are cheaper than their Steam versions.
Short of evidence for your claim, I’ll roll with the fact that, to my knowledge, there has never been a case of an itch.io game being bullied out of being cheaper than its Steam version.
I made the claim and provided evidence. You have yet to refute it in any meaningful way and have only provided conjecture. If you have proof the email isn’t real feel free to share it. You’re also free to look up the emails yourself if you feel they would prove me wrong.

No, not true. They specifically mention its not just steam keys in their released emails.
If you have a link to the actual emails, rather than a YouTube video for it, I’d be very interested in that.
If you have anything but conjecture I’d be interested in that as well.
Well, you made the claim, so 🤷

Without evidence “your knowledge” means nothing.
