over 6 millions view per day is not negligible.

well, it would certainly not harm.

I'd guess one major reason is this:

We make monthly statements and payments.

Add in their cut and any regulations they may have and any developer would think twice about adding their game to Steam. A lot of major companies do not provide their games on Steam.
