Steam is a form of DRM, but notice that Ubi doesn't have legions of fans like Valve does. - Edit 1

Valve may have miffed some fans with their handling of the L4D/L4D2 release scheduling, etc, but they're still champions of the PC gamer's cause. Yes, Steam itself is DRM, but it features an offline mode. It also features a friends list, store, library, and other useful parts.
Beyond that, most PC gamers have been at least nominally aware of Valve's hidden Portal2/Ep3/Steam-for-OSX teases. That's the kind of thing that only a developer with fans can do. If they had none, no one would be caring or going out of their way to decipher content buried within another game's updates.
