Steam DRM is entirely optional. Blame the publishers for DRM.

Valve doesn't disclose ahead of purchase whether a title has Steam DRM or not. So even if publishers don't take the option, I have no way to know that. Which means the option effectively doesn't exist.
The publisher could certainly mention it in their product blurb or in the additional notes under system requirements, if they thought to or thought the market would care.
