Epic has lots of games that aren't published to Steam. They seem to be doing fine.

Epic recently admitted their store isn't profitable.
That doesn't mean the Epic Store is not profitable for the developers.
It does mean that at any point in the future the store could simply not exist with short notice.
Epic pays those Devs for timed exclusivity on EGS, with the profits from Fornite and Unreal.
Most game developers aren't Epic.

It's Steam or bust for the vast majority.
