> They recently stopped developers promoting on steam, sale of their game on other platforms.

Hard to blame them for a stance of "you can't use our storefront to advertise other storefronts" though.

Epic is doing the things it is doing precisely because Steam is so ludicrously dominant. I'd argue that they haven't been successful at usurping that dominance yet. They are still very much playing catch-up.

I honestly don't think they are aiming to take over Steam. There's a lot of features they could implement with their cash that would match Steam's store.

They prefer their churn and burn, buying out games and giving them for reduced prices. It makes little sense unless it is seen as a very long term play.
