I don't really care, it's so much of a non-issue. Steam and EA are just trying to make money, Steam just comes out on top because it's got better PR and people like them.
The whole reason Mass Effect 3 isn't coming to Steam is because steam refuses to let EA sell DLC on Origin and the Bioware site that can be used on the steam version of the game. Essentially Steam is like "Nope, you can't sell your DLC, you have to sell it through us so we get a cut of the profit".
Edit: This is also why you can't buy Minecraft on steam either.
