People asked for clarifications constantly, leading to vague and contradictory statements, leading to Q&As that said nothing or said we'd find out more soon, followed up by a still quite limited FAQ, and followed by more evasions, which were then followed by the 180s.
I'm not sure who it was that you think didn't allow for "a proposal of modification", or how you think they achieved that, whatever *that* is. MS put out contradictory and partial messages on their DRM and the supposed benefits and then stayed quiet, and in lieu of answers people discussed and dissected what was known (seriously, there was a 60 page thread here trying to figure out how it worked and what it meant), and the more people looked into the details and implications the louder the uproar became. Then Sony brought their A game and presented a clear alternative and sucked all the oxygen out of MS' plans. This was reflected in pre-order numbers, and here we are.
What Steam is proposing here has no effect on their customers unless they want it to, and those people can look into the further details. There's nothing here to rage over.
