I'm pretty confident you can't just transfer a purchase between play and Steam. If you can, it's something that Valve has allowed explicitly. It isn't a normal behavior of Steam. Valve can choose to stop allowing that anytime they want.
If they were threatening to remove this function (which I don't think exists), then fine. That's not the case though. They're threatening to remove them from the Steam store in total for selling it for a cheaper price elsewhere.
last time i played a ubisoft game on steam it required uplay, i don't know if that holds for r6s but if it does then that's probably not something valve likes. maybe you can't transfer items, but you can fire up uplay through steam and get cheaper dlc for your "steam version" that way?
again, i don't know.
