The dev made money from at least the iOS, Android and Steam Greenlight versions. They also offered it for free.

Curation and encouraging PC ports when the store was relatively new != exclusives.

Not really, they're the villain for doing exclusives. Steam never did exclusives, at least not with 3rd party devs.

Steam reduced their cut to 20% for the biggest publishers, let's see any of the others do that. They also allow other stores on the steam deck. They also allow steam keys and shouldn't demand MFN pricing.

Their cut is worth it to users for the same reasons as an iOS and Android user might say, except when it comes to switching platforms, your steam games can come with you to rival platforms and not just friendly ones.

Make your own, and don't be so professional about it.

California is near the top in these things, except housing which you can squarely blame on NIMBYs. It's expanding healthcare for migrants, the minimum wage in most cities now is twice the federal minimum wage. It's also doing well in terms of renewable energy even though energy rates are sky high. Alternative and public transportation and other public services are also getting better, albeit slowly. Can't have everything, but CA is doing better than most.

ISO-8601 has the answer for computers, and maybe humans too. It's the last way you mentioned for everyday use.
