Technology

…no? It isn’t. He doesn’t have to support anyone else in order to not support Twitch.

Him alone supporting or not supporting Twitch means absolutely nothing for Twitch, but quite a bit for his viewership. Just moving one creator off the biggest platform accomplishes nothing.

The only reason that doesn’t already exist is because Big Tech doesn’t want it to

And I don't see a universe where Big Tech is going to change its' tune either unfortunately.

Or even look at the current state of podcasts and just apply that logic to streaming.

Basically every podcast is available on Spotify and Apple Podcasts, some of the major ones also on YouTube. How's that different from streaming?

Once again, chicken and egg. There will never be content somewhere else until someone puts it there.

And I'm saying there's no point unless it's a coordinated effort. A single creator being unavailable on Twitch changes nothing, except that single streamer's visibility. It would have to be a ton of people streaming outside of the mainstream platforms for people to forget about Twitch.

That’s because they only have DRM-free content, which means they have ~1\1000th of Steam’s library, if that.

Aye, but even games they DO have, they sell less than Steam, despite offering a technically superior product (DRM-free).

Personally I don’t buy from them because they don’t support Linux/Proton

Their website runs fine on Firefox on Linux and you can use any number of utilities to run games with Proton and manage prefixes, such as Bottles, umu, etc. Heroic even provides a unifying launcher for GOG and a few other windows-only stores. Are you saying the convenience of the more proprietary platform is keeping you from using the less proprietary one? You can see how it's the same for 99% of humanity and corporate streaming services, right? The competing service needs to win on multiple points to overcome the convenience and familiarity of the existing.
