I think the issue is, realistically, what CAN we do about it. They didn't come by their position through shady or abusive practices, but by simply making the best platform. Customers feel Steam treats them well. Even if you tried to break it up, customers would just glomp onto one of the shards and we'd be right back here again. Would be like taking the rifle away, but society just being like "No, we WANT them to have a rifle" and giving them another one every time you take it away.
