Steam has DRM,so no. Easily cracked yes, but then you can just go the full pirate route.

Optional DRM, but essentially on by default. Could maybe consider it malicious compliance as its so easy to bypass but still allows them to check the DRM checkbox.

The point is that with Steam you have more options than with consoles.

Not completely true, many games on Steam in fact do not have any DRM. See https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48755132.
