I would like to see their income breakdown between Steam and other platforms.

Difficult to measure. A lot, and I do mean a lot, of indie devs on itch.io will likely get the biggest sum of their income from Patreon subscriptions.

From what I've heard speaking to some of them, when it comes to succesful Patreons, even a Steam release is peanuts compared to how much money was made through Patreon.

Oh interesting. I hadn't really fought of patreon as a source for indie game developers. I think the only one I know of is chinchillas art.
