Yes and no, I think some DRM was required to get game publishers to even consider digital distribution. Also Steam’s DRM is entirely optional, many games use steam for distribution without any DRM.

And it worked so well that people actively define DRM to include “Except for what Valve does”
As someone who “fought in the DRM wars” it is infuriating. But I have long since given up on convincing people that Steam’s user based authentication for the purpose of downloading (and now uploading, since network transfers) game files is DRM.
