Yeah for all the shit steam gets, I bought that now de-listed Deadpool game like, however many years ago when it first came out (it was okay thanks for asking) and recently started a family sharing thing with my partner on steam, who was surprised to see that not only did I own it, but she could play it through steam's family share. Are they perfect? Hell no, but is Gabe right about this? Hell yes.
You can do the same with deadpool on Xbox and PlayStation. It’s delisted there, but if you bought it you can re-download whenever you want.

I've got a few like that too. Apparently The Last Remnant got a remaster which for some reason didn't get a PC release. despite the original being on PC. That sucked, but whatever. Then they removed the original from Steam.
