Paying is up to the user of course. It was just meant as a "it's not as bad as others in DRM". Also you could have hundreds of games for 0,- there, too.
For me it was indeed the convenience. I was pirate since the 80s but steam gave a reason to just buy. Be it updates, workshop, community all around a game, news for that etc.
