Valve probably sent some internal memos to clarify what the rule actually covers and what it doesn't and hopefully that was that.

Speaking from my company experiences as an employee:
If it's not written in a clear language (e.g. ONLY keys generated and distributed by Valve need to follow the same price on other storefronts. We do not care about 3rd Party key generator/distributors like uPlays own infra) and somewhere accessible it will be forgotten or misinterpreted by employees.
I can't even count the amount of "With this email we inform you of policy X and order Y".
This email will be lost and new employees will never receive it.
And employees will repeat the rules in a flawed way.
